I had a bottom molar pulled 3 weeks ago. When he was numbing up the area I noticed my top teeth were getting numb, I didn't think anything about it. When he went to pull the bottom tooth I still felt it, he gave my another injection, which numbed up the top teeth that much more.
It has been 3 weeks now, and I still can not feel the top teeth. I am scared I will never get the feeling back. Has anybody else ever experienced this?
 
Maybe the dentist hit a nerve when he gave you a shot and it will take time for it to heal. I would call the dentist just to ask and see what they say.
