My 10 yr old daughter just had 2 baby teeth pulled and a cavity filled today and they gave her local numbing shots at 11:15 this morning. At 3 pm her bottom lip on the left side was so swollen it was purple. I called the dentist, and he told me this was normal and to apply ice. We complied and the ice did help some. Now at 9:30 pm her lip has gotten huge again. Is this indeed "normal" or should I seek her additional help? Thank You!

 Hi splume,
Some swelling would be considered normal after dental work but if she is experiencing this amount of swelling it may be a reaction to the medication that was used. I would suggest an additional evaluation at which time they may suggest administering benadryl. Again, have an evaluation.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
