What's the name of the kinda dent between your nose and your upper lip and what's its purpose?

That dent is called a philtrum (sometimes spelled filtrum) and it is the groove that extends from the bottom of the nose to the top of the upper lip. "The way the philtrum appears is determined genetically. In some syndromes this grove is shortened."  But, as to its purpose, I have no idea other than to act as a separation between the nose and upper lip.  Hope that helps! \n\n\nMore info on this below.

You get those whenever you lie to someone to make them feel better.  Some girls get a wart on the end of their nose instead.\n\nShrink them with ice cubes on the tongue.  Avoid salsa and lip liner until it goes away.

That is called the "Filtrum"  This may sound a bit disgusting, but it is there to prevent matter from your nose, from entering in to your mouth.  It deflects the "matter" off to the sides.

You're nose becomes dehydrated and needs to stay moist. You will probably need to use some saline mist up your nose.

I thought that whole area was considered upper lip but now that you made me think about it perhaps it is called upper upper lip.

Use a moisturizing saline nasal spray, you can get it at any pharmacy, or you can apply a small amount of Vaseline with a Q-tip to the inside of your nose. If the nose bleeding persists, contact your doctor, it could be something more serious.

It could be a mucocele. \nSee picture in\nhttp://www.ghorayeb.com/LipMucocele.html\nor a fibroma see\nhttp://www.ghorayeb.com/FibromaLipBuccal.html\nTo be sure see a doctor in Otolaryngology

Its called a philtrum and I believe its there to help rivet sweat down the face - as eyebrows are there to stop sweat getting into your eyes - from cavemen/women times methinks...

IN DENTISTRY THERE IS A PHENOMENON CALLED MESIAL DRIFT. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT TEETH DENT TO SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE CENTER OF THE MOUTH WHEN THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN THE TEETH. TEETH DO NOT EVER MOVE TO THE REAR OF THE MOUTH.\nYOU  DIDN'T SAY WHY THIS TOOTH NEEDED TO REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Possibly something has gotten under your skin, such as a tiny splinter or other irritant without you realizing it, and the bump is your body forming scar tissue around the "foreign object". This is just one possibility of many. Without seeing it or having more details, it's really hard to tell what it is.

The flow of blood normally stops when the blood clots, which may be encouraged by direct pressure and reducing the blood pressure in the head by sitting upright with the head tilted forward for about 10 minutes.\n\nPetroleum jelly is sometimes applied to stop the blood from seeping out, but should not be used[citation needed]; as it is petroleum based, it actually further dries out the nasal cavity. Furthermore, it can seep into the lungs and cause a very serious condition known as lipoid pneumonia[citation needed].\n\nIf pressure, ice on the bridge of the nose, application of a vasoconstrictor, or other techniques do not work, a nasal tampon is usually the next step. The nasal tampon stops the bleeding by applying pressure from inside of the nose and is usually kept in for 1-3 days.\n\nChronic epistaxis resulting from a dry nasal mucosa is often treated by spraying saline in the nose up to three times per day. There are also non-petroleum based gels that can be used.\n\nPersistent epistaxis is an indication for urgent medical consultation. Nasal packing, cryosurgery, electrocautery or application of trichloroacetic acid are options that may be used in severe epistaxis.\n\nIt is uncommon to die from bleeding through nosebleeds. However, damage to the maxillary artery can lead to rapid blood loss via the nose and present difficulty in treatment, pressure, vasoconstrictor and rhinocort occasionally proving ineffective. Ligation of the artery, risking damage to the facial nerves, may be the only solution.\n\nA simple treatment for those who have nosebleed on a regular basis is to increase your daily dietary fiber intake. This would make the blood coagulation faster and help quickly stop the hemorrhage.\n\nNevertheless, severe protracted nosebleeds may cause anemia due to iron deficiency.\n\nIf a nosebleed lasts for more than 15 minutes, occurs following a serious injury, or is accompanied by severe blood loss, you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room.

These are two different things, but both related to trauma, not tumor or neoplasm. Mucocele is when you bite your lip and damage a salivary gland duct of a minor salivary gland, and then the saliva can't get out.  It builds up and becomes a bubble, which is the mucocele.  \nAn oral fibroma is usually caused by biting the inside of the cheek, and the tissue responds by building thicker tissue, which is the fibroma.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A BLOCKED EUSTACIAN TUBE FROM YOUR EAR INTO YOUR THROAT. GENTLY MASSAGE THE AREA FROM THE DENT BEHIND YOUR EAR, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JAW TO YOUR THROAT.THERE WILL LIKELY BE A TENDER AREA IN THAT TUBE. YOU CAN ALSO USE A WARM WET WASHCLOTH TO WARM THE AREA AND HOPEFULLY RELEASE THE BLOCKAGE. IF IT DOESN'T RELEASE IN A FEW DAYS, GO TO THE DOCTOR!
