Question: Is there any way to quicken the numbness from the dentist away!?
Just got back from the dentist and they told me it will be 3-6 hours before I will be un-numbed enough to eat!. I had it done at three o'clock though so I kind of would like to speed up the process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The *only* way to quicken the numbness is increasing your heartbeat (as in exercising, running, walking fast, etc)!. But, unless you only had a filling or a regular cleaning, you aren't supposed to exercise after going to the dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The anesthetic has probably worn off by now - but you can try drinking something really cold, like an Icee or milkshake!. Sort of pack it into your cheek like a chipmunk on the side that is numb!. Not sure how it works, but it does!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
