Question: After visiting the dentist what can i do to have the numbness wear off quicker? ?
I am getting a filling tomorrow at 1. I know my face will be numb for some time, but the problem is that I have callbacks/audition at 6pm and I need my face not to be numb! Any suggestions as to what might help it wear off quicker??

Answers:

you could ask them to use less Novocaine, but that's painful. After, rub your cheek and open and close your mouth as much as possible. That should help diffuse the numbing agent.



The only thing I know of for sure, is that you can ask for novacaine that does NOT contain ephedrine. It wears off quicker than normal novacaine. I know this because I have a problem with ephedrine and I have to use it. Other than that, I am not sure. good luck!



There is nothing you can do. It only takes 2 to 3 hours for the numbness to go away.
