I bit all the way through my lower lip while in college (while playing tackle football at night without a ball after too many beers). The doctor wouldn't put in any stitches because I didn't go see him right away, and he said that putting in the stitches after the fact would only ensure that it would get infected. The worst part was that got infected anyway, and had to be lanced, which was more painful than the original injury.

At any rate, I took a few weeks off while it healed and have never had any problems since (more than 25 years later). I have a nice little scar, and a small bump due to scar tissue, but that has never affected my playing in the least.

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
