Anesthetic
Care Instructions:
Anesthetic typically wears off in 1 to 3 hours, but it varies greatly person to person
Where anesthetic was used could feel sore or bruised, this is common and should not cause you concern
Be very cautious not to chew on the numb side (to prevent your biting tongue, lip, etc.)
Watch children who have received anesthetic carefully- the feeling of being numb causes many kids to chew on the inside of their cheeks, lips and tongue, which can be very damaging.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office.
