Loading...Have you ever been shot up with Novocain at the dentist? See what happens when Jersey Joe tries to speak after his dentist accidentally hits a nerve with the needle!
Novocain is a drug used by dentists to numb parts of the mouth when minor oral surgery is required. While it is supposed to cut out the pain, it can hurt a bit when being injected. Especially in my case when my dentist hit a nerve!

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
My experience was not fun. It was seriously like biting down on a live electrical wire. Ever stick your finger in an electric outlet as a kid? It’s pretty much the same sensation. I could feel every nerve ending on the side of my head! While it did numb the area quickly, I could still feel tingling for days.
Now, I do like my dentist and nothing like this has ever happened before. He told me the odds are about 1 in 100 of this happening. Hope I didn’t scare you too much!
