A member asked:
What to do if i got my teeth filled and he gave me 2 or 3 shots of novacane and i don't feel the numbness anymore but my lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on how long: If it has been a couple of hours then it is probably normal. If it has been a couple of days then you need to go back to your dentist. You may have some damage to the nerve. That is usually temporary.
