20yr old. had 5 root canals 2 yrs ago. now, swollen/bigger lips and area around mouth (fattish). could it be due to infection in mouth? any other caus

Yes, it could.: You should definitely see your dentist or start with your primary care physician. It also could be from a local or allergic reaction to something you ate or something topical that you put on your lips (possibly lipstick/makeup).
