How long does it take for the numbness to wear off after going to the dentist for a filling?
Probably another hour or two, depending on whether or not epinephrine was in the anesthetic... be careful not to bite your lip...and drink with caution, since the liquid will run right out of your mouth since your entire lower is numb! Hang in there, you'll get feeling back soon enough! :)
How long does the numbness from general anesthesia take to wear off?
well first off they didn't give you general anesthesia. if you were sleeping then you received IV sedation and had local anesthesia in your mouth. local anesthesia is numbing shots. and many times they will give you a bit more than necessary so that the pain doesn't hit you as soon as the surgery is over. the numbness should be completely gone by morning.
How long it takes for numbness to wear off after having your wisdom teeth taken out?
Firstly, did you get completely put to sleep or just have it done in your dentist's clinic? If you are still numb, I would definately call the dentist/surgeon that did the operation. You shouldn't really be numb still, but often these things can happen and will go away. However, I would still call someone and get them to take a look at it. Good luck, let me know how you go!
How long does it take for numbness to go away?
It should take about two more hours before it completely wears off. In the meantime, do not eat anything as you may bite your lip, cheek, or tongue and could really hurt yourself. I have known a person to actually bite off their tongue while numb. So stick with a liquid diet until the numbness is gone. Good luck to you
How long does it take for the numbness to go away after a filling?
I've always found that if you eat, the chewing motion helps the numbness to go more quickly - I suppose it increases the blood flow and helps to clear the anaesthetic from the area. You just have to be very careful not to bite your tongue or your cheek. You should be able to eat with care after a couple of hours. You'll have to pop the pizza in the microwave later!
How long does it take for anesthesia to wear off after getting all wisdom teeth removed?
Here’s a little something from Google:Lidocaine with epinephrine is the most commonly used anesthetic agent. It lasts around 2 to 6 hours depending on several factors such as the patient’s weight, surrounding adipose tissue, presence of infection (an acidic pH lessens the anesthetic effect as well alcohol consumption), among others.
How long does it take for tongue swelling and numbness to resolve, after wisdom teeth removal? It's been two weeks since the surgery and there has only been slight increments improvement so far.
If your tongue was actually swollen it would be very rare and you would have to consider infection but in removing thousands of wisdom teeth I never saw an infected tongue. Most likely the numbness is making it feel swollen. Most numbness goes away on its own within a couple of weeeks but I have seen it’s last for decades. Even if your is destined to last a long time you will eventually get so used to it that you forget it’s there. Right now you still remember that it felt normal 2 weeks ago but after a while it will be the only feeling you remember. I had patients who when asked if their lip was still numb would feel it with their teeth and finger and say I think it is but hard to tell. Most likely, it will stilll resolve in the next few weeks weeks anyway but have the surgeon check it out.

Does the numbness after a stroke go away?
1st Franks answer is very good the other answer may or may not be true, since we don't know the whole story, I wouldn't say that.... a stroke is a blood clot that could have a Large area of the brain or small area affected I assume They looked to see what was going on, another Factor is how long after the stroke did she see a doctor? they say the quicker the better... Obviously we would all prefer it was THat moment... when My Grandmother had her 1st stroke I was 14- 15 I came home from school (3 ish) and found her ON the floor she'd been there all day, her RECOVERY was Partial, LONG and difficult, If we'd been home and got her to the hospital she "could have" had an easier recovery in other words.. I would ask if when her Mini Stroke Happened did she Fall in a way that could have been an issue? on the affected side of her body if her hip is numb is her knee and ankle also numb? what about the same side arm? .. when she squeezes your hands in hers is the stroke affected side REALLY weaker.. ( obviously if she's right handed you would expect the left MIGHT be weaker normally I mean is one gripping and the other limp?, same with the feet if she's laying in bed ask if she can "point her toes" at you with both feet and normal and then retract and normal, then simply push the feet flat at the floor ( these are some of the things you and she can do to regain ground.. as long as her Doctor approves she will need physical therapy, and those things should be ok long as she isn't in pain doing em .. she'll need to if she wants to recover anything
