I had three fillings replaced on Wednesday and never get novocaine but was talked into it this time. The
pain during the
injection was very bad. Since the novocaine wore off, I have pain all over the area that had been numb, part of my tongue included. It tingles, burns, hurts. Movement, eating, hot, cold, all make it worse.
I went back to the dentist Monday. He said the needle touched the nerve and it could take months to heal.
