Question : Lip twitching days after novacaine injection from root canal is his normal

Answered by Dr. Ramesh B. Hegde (3 hours later)

Dear XXXXXXX,
Thank you for the query. Lip twitching days after Novocaine injection is not normal. It may be seen during the local anaesthesia period. It never starts after days of Novocaine injection. It may be due something else. Kindly get it checked by Neurologist.
Hope this answers your query. If you have any further clarifications in need I am available for discussion.

With happy regards,
