Suggest Treatment For A Laceration On The Inside Of Lip After A Dental Procedure

I had a dental procedure done yesterday and once the numbness wore away I noticed an intense stinging pain on the inside of my upper left side lip and the soft tissue between the look in the teeth and I noticed that there was literally skin starting to sag down during a consultation with one of my clients at work today so it appears that I have a significant laceration that is actually separating that tissue from the inside of my lip, what should I do, should I have the dentist to suture it or has two days been long enough for it to have started to heal by itself

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the laceration could be secondary to biting your lip mucosa when your lip was numb. consult your oral physician and get it examined. if the cut is more than 1cm then get it sutured other wise take topical anesthetic and analgesics for 5 day. the lesions heals in 5-7days. do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
