How Long Will Numbness And Swelling In Lips Remain After A Fall?

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 HCM

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 inflamamtion at site of injury . For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and evaluation . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day . You can apply ointment like Mucopain or Mugel on lower lip .

Hope this will help you .
