Numbness after dental procedures is a common side effect of local anesthesia. It can be uncomfortable and interfere with daily activities. There are a few things you can do to relieve numbness from the dentist.
One of the most important things to do is to avoid biting or chewing on the numb area. This can further damage the nerves and prolong the numbness. You should also avoid hot or cold foods and drinks, as these can irritate the numb area.
