What can I do to counteract novacaine?

I have a dentist appt in 2hrs and don't want to be numb all night...please help
Answer:
Ask the dentist to use novocaine without epinephrine. It won't last as long. If you get an injection for the upper teeth, drinking something warm will make the feeling go away.
there isn't anything you can do, the body has to metabolize the drug at it's own rate. Of course you can always ask the dentist to use less or to not use it at all.
Sometimes they can give you shorter acting ones if necessary. Discuss this w/ your dentist.
