you should wait until the numbing wears off. you don't want to bite your cheek or tongue and not realize it. that is why the Dr. tells people not to eat until it wears off.
You can have soup or tea or jello. anything that just kinda slides down without chewing. also make sure it is not too hot.
numbness should wear off in a couple of hours. sometimes it depends if he did a block or not. the numbness lasts longer with a block.

It's different for everyone, but usually 3 or 4 hours. And there is nothing you can do.. you just have to wait for the drug to wear off.

There is no way to speed things up -- but there is no need to wait before eating.

eat anything you want, a warm cup of coffee will help as it will speed up the blood supply around the area.

This is the best time to treat yourself to a chocolate shake.

When our patients leave our office with the mouth numb we give our patients a VITAMIN C chewable. Since the mouth is numb we have them suck on it vs chew it, possibly bite tongue or cheek.
As long as you had just a filling then your ok but if you had a root canal/pulpotomy the acids in the Vitamin C could effect the process just done.

you cant unmunb
