Apply gauze or cloth with pressure to the site of the injury to stop the bleeding. Place ice or a cold pack wrapped in a thin cloth to the outside of the lips or mouth if there's any swelling. Call a doctor if bleeding doesn't stop or if you notice a visible deformity, signs of infection, or new bleeding.
