Get evaluated: Best to see a doctor in case sutures are necessary. Keep things clean and rinse with warm salt water until you see your doctor.

Injury to the lips: is quite common. Trauma to the lips can be crushed against the teeth, causing scary lacerations. The rich blood supply in the oral cavity promotes rapid healing, in most cases. However, if concerned, see an oral or maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation.
