Apart from above suggestions, do check whether or not upper teeth or lower front teeth are mobile? Give semi solid diet for a few days as due to fall teeth may be tender. Lips will heal on its own. No need to worry about that. Just keep the area of cut clean. Healing is very good in babies.

It will heal on its own, soon. Till then for symptomatic relief, you can apply glycerin or ghee or gel like Mucopain in associated area (15-20 min ) before having food. This will soothe that area and prevent discomfort in eating. Avoid too hot and hard food.
Don’t worry, she will be fine soon.
Health Tips
Eat soft consistency food.

It will heal on its own. Just apply some ice pack for a few seconds. Avoid giving hot food for 2-3 days, as that may cause discomfort/pain. In case she has pain, you can give paracetamol syrup.

The injury on the lip will heal.
Next Steps
I would suggest to check if her front teeth are fine, check for any mobility in the front teeth and do observe her front teeth regularly (over next few months) for any discoloration. If u see any changes, visit a dentist immediately.
