How Long Will My Mouth Be Numb After a Sedation Dentistry?

When was the last time you had an appointment with the dentist? If your answer is “Noo”, you need to visit Nepeandentalimplants dentists near you.

let’s talk about an issue that’s a common issue or we saw many cases with same at our dental office :

In which treatments that require numbing your mouth. It's not that easy you’re being sedated to avoid that critical pain during the treatment.

Sedation Basics

The numbness comes from local anesthesia. It depends upon where you receive your shot, but you feel it all over your mouth and face, including lips, skin, and chin

You may get anesthesia either by a topical gel, by injection, by pill, by “laughing” gas. it also depends upon the treatment you need or suitable for you. Your dentist may only apply it to a smaller area.

How Long Does Mouth Sedated Last?

Most of your mouth will feel weird after getting your anesthesia, including Gums, tongue, cheeks, your lips. This means that you have to be conscious of the fact that you even may not feel cold and hot.

You could be sedated for a minimum an hour or two, all the way to around five hours. It will also depend upon how much anesthesia was administered, and where.

Your bottom teeth require a higher dosage because jaw has a nerve block which is known as inferior alveolar nerve if we touch that without appropriate numbing you may feel pain entire lower half of your face.

The patient's metabolism also plays a vital role. If you have a fast metabolism, you’ll be sedated for less time as compared to someone who has a slow metabolism.

We should advise not to stress over it. After some time. you’ll get back to feeling like usual self and will be able to enjoy your favorite food.

Also, don’t schedule your dental appointment right before your business meeting or lunch
