I just went to the dentist and he gave me some shots, procliaming that the lower left side of my face, upper lip and the upper left jaw would be numb, also numb by the bottom of my nose. I'm really sensitive to numbing crap and the numbness has extended to half my face and has reached my eyelid and blinking feels funny. I HATE this sensation, i can't eat anything either, does anyone know how to make numbness go away any faster? I am about to rip my face off!

Use straws when you drink, that coul d help at least a little. Sorry to hear that, really. [ Ronlina's advice column | Ask Ronlina A Question ]
duckhuntrox answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 4:24 pm: i just got that 2 days ago at the dentist! im afraid there is nothing you can do to speed it up except maybe a warm/hot washcloth. it does make it feel a litte more liveable, you can try it--hope it works. it takes about 3 hours to wear off so good luck!
