That depends on the local anesthetic given and the time of administration. Typically, the numbness persists for several hours after surgery.
Depends on what is used and for how long. If it's propofol it is usually about 30-60 min after procedure is finished
Usually a few hours depending on the type of local anesthetic used. If it’s lidocaine, about three hours; if it’s a bupivacaine, it can be 4 to 6 hours.
Depends on which local anesthetic your dentist uses. Articaine, prilocaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine all have different durations
