Severe Swelling of Upper Lip &Right Side of Face Plus Black Eye from Temp. Veneers. Does this need immediate attention? (photo)

kellyclark1980Feb 28, 2016
I am in the process of getting veneers for my upper teeth and went to have my teeth prepared this past Friday for the temporary veneers. Two of the temporaries came off the same night. Today I woke up with a severely swollen upper lip and the right side of my face is also severely swollen. I am now developing bruising below my right eye (starting to look like a black eye) with swelling in that area as well. My Mouth/lips are drooping too.
