Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
A x-ray is necessary to assess the bone and tooth.I do not know if your dentist took a x-ray.
A fracture in the tooth or trauma to the blood vessels supplying the tooth can lead to pain you are experiencing now.
A root canal will include removal of the pulpal tissue.This will eliminate the pain.
I advice you to go for the root canal,but after a x-ray.
Don't worry about the lip, cut or bruises in the mouth will heal very fast.
Apply a soothing gel like Quadragel for few days.
Ask your dentist if you will need a suture if its a deep cut.
Regards.
