Is it possible to have a tooth embedded in your lip?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Trauma can do this: If you had trauma, it is possible that a paice of tooth broke off and may be embedded in your lip. This can be found with an x-ray. If you think this happened you need to see a dentist or oral surgeon and get treatment. There is a huge risk of infection from all of the bacteria in your mouth and on your teeth.

Yes, see details: If you're talking about trauma, then you can certainly imbed a tooth into your lip. A tooth can be inside your lip if when tooth bud was developing, its location got messed up and it ended up in the area of the lip.
