A member asked:

Bit my upper lip accidentally. when feeling the area with my tongue i noticed a string like area going through the upper lip. is this a superior labial artery? recently had a oral exam by oral surgeon and all was well. thank you?

If you didn't bleed profusely, you wouldn't have severed an artery. The frenulum is a string like structure that connects the upper lip to the gum. Could you be feeling that? If you still have concerns, consult your oral surgeon.

Very doubtful. Use peroxide to keep it clean.
