I fell down some stairs on Saturday, and my tooth punctured the inside of my mouth a little below my lip. I also have a cut under my lip on the outside. My lip is still swollen, numb, and my two front teeth are sore. Nothing is broken or chipped, but I m just wondering how long it will take for the numbness in my lip to to go away as well as the sore teeth? I also feel like my smile is crooked now. I notice I can t smile the same or it feels weird to talk.
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor I have read your query as far as numbness and swelling in lips and soreness of teeth is concerned this can be due to trauma and inflammation at site of injury. For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and evaluation. In meantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day. You can apply ointment like McCoppin or Mugel on lower lip. Hope this will help you.
