I dropped my iphone on a tile floor from about waist height and now there is a dent in the top left corner, will this affect the way the phone operates? Is it normal for the 5 to dent easily on the sides?

Time will tell on how it will operate. They are not meant to be dropped from that high on to a tile floor. So far you are very lucky. 😕
 
My boss's iPhone 5 would astonish you. It has been dropped to such as degree that black is less common than silver. Every corner is compacted and the screen is so scratched it has more of a ramp at the edge than a step up.

You'll be fine. Resale value will suck.
