Did not get numb?: Did you not get numb? If not check into vitamins and supplements you may have taken before procedure. Vitamin c can block anesthetic. Most dentists use a different anesthetic, it may not have been novocaine. Check to see what exactly was used. Nerves can also block anesthetic, as your body chemistry is different than when you are relaxed.

It will pass: The anesthesia will pass. Be careful not to chew your cheek / tongue / lips in the meantime. May take up to 8 hours to wear off. Good luck.
