Do you mean other than waiting a couple hours?
Nope.
I had a bunch of fillings (before I was a dentist!) right before a dress rehearsal for a (I'm not making this up) High School Musical. Well, as the lead trumpet part, and unable to move half my lips, I can tell you, that was a bit tricky.
Good luck!

Depends really where you have had the novacaine. If it was for dental work, try drinking chicken broth or some kind of soup. Just make sure it is not too hot that you burn yourself. This will help to "warm up" the area. If you had novacaine anywhere else on your body, try a heating pad or a bath just as long as it's not too hot to burn that area of the body. The chicken broth or soup worked for me when I had novacaine for dental work and hot bath and heating pad for novacaine from a cortizone shot. Good luck to you and hope it helps.

I hate the effects of Novocain. The last tooth I had pulled I asked to just forgo the Novocain--or anything other pain killer for that matter.
There wasn't much left of the tooth--so it was no big deal to forgo the painkiller.
About the only way I could handle the effects of Novocain was to just sleep it off.

try to massage the area that the injection was given. This will create more blood flow to the area and help to "wash out" the anesthetic.

YOUR BODY WILL TAKE THE NEEDED TIME TO "PROCESS" THE CHEMICALS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NUMBING EFFECTS. THERE IS NOTHING YOU YOURSELF CAN DO.
