Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have broken needle struck into your gums due to breakage while anaesthesia injection that is being shown in your MRI..

You should not go for MRI Scan again and consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated along with a close examination of your MRI..

The removal of the broken tip of needle is a a must from the tissues as it can act as a foreign body and can cause severe inflammation that can cause swelling and pain..
Surgical removal of the same has to be done followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
