A member asked:
4 hrs after local anesthesia for cavity fix, not numb anymore but still can't move that side of mouth or side of nose, normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal. : Sometimes it can take a few hours more for all the sensations to return after local anesthetic. By tomorrow if you don't feel normal then consult your dentist or an oral surgeon.
