Drilling injuries to tongue and gums in dentistry

I recently injured my tongue and gums drilling with a drill during a cavity treatment at a Japanese American dentist in Torrance. I was a little concerned about the way the doctor used the drill during the treatment. I thought it might be dangerous to be so careless. During the treatment, I didn't notice the injury because of the anesthesia, but I noticed it a few hours after I went home. The injury is not that big, but since I injured the side of my tongue, it hurts when I hit my teeth while eating and talking.
Since the pain was stronger on my tongue, I didn't notice it easily, but my gums were also cut by about an inch. I noticed that the gums were almost turning into mouth ulcers.

I told the dentist that I was injured, but they said that I would be seen 5 days after the injury,
I would think that after that many days, I would have recovered quite well,

but even if I went to see the dentist,
I would be sent home, ！ thinking that it is almost healed already. I feel that it is useless to go there.

What would you do ？?

If it was a wound that would heal in five days or so, there wouldn't seem to be too much fuss about it.

Take pictures and write down the progress like a detailed diary
and when you contacted them
to help if you get an infection or something later.
