<bot>: Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. A x-ray is necessary to assess the bone and tooth. I do not know if your dentist took an x-ray. A fracture in the tooth or trauma to the blood vessels supplying the tooth can lead to pain you are experiencing now. A root canal will include removal of the pupal tissue. This will eliminate the pain. I advise you to go for the root canal, but after an x-ray.Don't worry about the lip, cut or bruises in the mouth will heal very fast. Apply a soothing gel like Qua Chat Doctor. Ask your dentist if you will need a suture if it's a deep cut. Regards.
