Antibiotics: Antibiotics should not be causing an anesthetic effect in any part of your body, let alone small specific areas. Not knowing exactly where you were injected or the condition of your mouth, it would be wise to contact the dentist who treated you.

Temporary numbness: Apparently, this is paresthesia due to injection of local anesthetic agent. This paresthesia subtype involves temporary numbness or tingling that disappears in a few days.
