Why did the numbing medication take away my dimple. i had a fill in.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only Temporary: The good news is that the dimple will return! the anesthesia numbs not only the tooth but also the surrounding facial muscles and as a result your dimple does not form. Once the effects of the anesthesia wears off, your facial muscles will return to normal.
