hello . i went to the dentist last thursday and i got around 4 or 5 numbing shots. its now been 4 days and my mouth still hurts. my mom said my face is still swollen so ive been icing it. my question is , will the numbing medicine cause the dimple in my cheek go away? im afraid i wont ever get my dimple back
thanks for your query. i have gone through your query. the swelling could be because of the persisting infection or any hematoma. the pain could be at the site of injection. consult a dentist to rule out the above said conditions and take medicines like antibiotics. if it is hematoma give hot and cold fomentation. i hope my answer will help you. do not worry the dimple will come back.
