What Causes Fluid Filled Lumps With Swelling In The Lip?
Hi, I had a filling and 2 temporary crowns placed on Tuesday. Since then I have small clear fluid filled bumps inside my upper lip. I have swelling visible on my cheek and pain. The whole procedure took about 4 hours and multiple injections of anesthetic and a topical anesthetic gel.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
You might be having abscess in those teeth in which you have gone for capping.
It might require root canal treatment or extraction depending on condition.
Meanwhile you may start with a course of analgesic & antibiotic.
Visit your dentist as early as possible.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
If temporary crowns are placed in the front teeth only and after that you have this bump on the lip, then it can be possible that still there is some infection left in the tooth and now an abscess has been formed which is causing this lumps and swelling.
Better that once again you visit your dentist and get an x - ray of the tooth, which will show the cause of infection.
Hope it will help you.
