I am now experiencing numbness/tingling in lip is this normal? It almost fells like been to the dentist and had injection which is starting to wear off. Thank you
Numbness and abnormal sensations can occur as a result of trauma to any area of the body.
It is due to disruption of the nerves in the area. In this cases where your tooth cut your bottom lip, the disruption is very likely temporary and should resolve in a few days up to a week.
I hope this helps
