hi, my little one has broken off front teeth. He woke up with a swollen top lip. I have checked theres no cuts or sproei underneath. His gums look reddish and swollen also. What could this be? Should i take him to doctor? Candice.  YYYY@YYYY
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen lip could be because of infection from the broken tooth, or it can be muscle.  The reddish gums could be because of the deposits or trauma. Consult an oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the infection and root fracture. You have to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. If needed tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment or pulp therapy. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
