Teeth, nails, baths and toilets, sentence 3

A boy in Texas has a numbing injection at the dentist; his lip feels fat and strange for a few hours, so he takes care not to bite or chew it, because he could hurt it without feeling any pain.

Who acts: boy, lip · What happens: have, numb, feel, take, not bite, chew · To what, where: numbing injection, dentist, care, pain
