Answers:

Depends on how much anesthetic and the type they gave you. Some will last 45 mins - hour. Just long enough to get through the appointment and then start slowly wearing off. If you had a gum procedure they may want you to stay numb longer so the healing will be farther along when the numbness wears off. You can expect 3 - 4 hours in some cases. It also depends on your sensitivity to medications. Some people don't need much to have a certain level of effectiveness and others need lots and lots. Try not to eat or chew on your lip. Keep some guaze or a piece of clean cloth between your teeth. The sore you will get from biting yourself will be very painful and just one more thing that will have to heal.
