I just got back from the dentist. Yuck! I am having two crowns and a bridge done -- something that I have put off for years. I have not had to have Novocaine for ten years. He hit my nerves two times in giving me the injections. And he did not use any oral numbing agent first. OUCH! I am going to a new dentist and was told that this one was was really gentle. I really hope it does not last all day. At this point the my ear and most of my tongue are also numb. I also hate the sound of the drill, and the horrible taste in your mouth while they are drilling.

A heating pad will help it wear off faster. I hope you feel better.

Numbness has worn off; aching has begun.

Barb -- I feel your pain!!!! Went through the same thing three weeks ago, four teeth, two root canals, and am waiting for the permanent teeth to be finished. So far the temporaries are holding up. Those needles really are the pitts, even with the numbing stuff on the gums. OUCHERS!!!!
Good luck!!!!

I agree, I also dislike the taste/feeling of novocaine but LOVE the gas. I wish I could get a six pack of that to go. Makes going to the dentist just worth it.
