Hi, i took a baseball pitch to the lips/teeth, and the upper lip is cut and very swollen. the bleeding stopped. will the swelling fully go down?

Yes: The swelling will resolve over the next several days. Sorry to hear about your injury.

Yes: Use plenty of ice on the area (as much as you can) and the inflammation/swelling should subside. Good luck

It should: You should also see your dentist to have your teeth evaluated and establish a baseline (no pun intended). Trauma to the teeth can manifest itself months or even years after the injury, and it would be helpful to know what your teeth looked like radiographically for comparison purposes.

Yes: You should have a dentist check things out, make sure no teeth are broken or displaced, then you will know for sure.

Yes: The area will heal and the swelling will go down in a few days. See a dentist and have your teeth checked for looseness, fracture or nerve damage. Wear a mouth guard in the future and protect your teeth. You could have had very serious damage to them.

Quite common: The tissues of the lips swell very easily when injured. Fortunately, the outlook is excellent. The rich blood supply in the mouth promotes rapid healing. Apply ice and take NSAIDs OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for a few days.

Probably: But you should see a Dentist to asses the damage to your lips, teeth, and surrounding bone. There may be more damage than just a cut lip. Go get yourself checked out.

Lip trauma: Most will go down over the next few months. the crushed tissue may fell thicker after the healing. This are is fibrotic and can be excised later if necessary.
