Novocaine when will my mouth be back to normal
Can’t feel my mouth
Okay, so I just had a tooth removed at the dentist to day and they numbed up my whole mouth. The thing is I did not eat before I went to the dentist because I did not want to get sick. Now I am back home and I am so hungry.
My mouth and part of my tongue is still numbed out. I am afraid to eat and bite my tongue or side my mouth. About how much longer do you think I need to wait?

Well I am sure you will be okay if you have to wait a little longer to eat. However, in general terms it takes about one to two hours for the Novocaine to wear off.
If you are really hungry then try eating something that does not require you to chew. examples would be like yogurt, pudding, and soup broth etc.

It can very depending on the person that is getting the Novocaine and how much the dentist needed to use in order to remove your tooth and not cause you to have any pain.
For me it is like anywhere for two to three hours. But then I am a bit of a baby when it comes to the dentist so tell him to use a lot of Novocaine.

I know just how you feel. I to went to the dentist today and had my mouth numbed up. I am just now starting to get feeling and it has been about two hours for me. I hope that helps.
Oh and I had a shake because I was hungry too. Since you got a tooth removed use a spoon not a straw since normally the dentist would advise that you do not suck on things for a few days after a tooth removal.
