For those who don’t like to drool, slur their speech or unknowingly bite their tongue after a visit to the dentist, help might be at hand.
A small drug company said it won approval Friday from the Food and Drug Administration to market the first drug meant to undo the effects of local dental anesthesia.
In clinical trials, the drug cut the median time it took for full sensation to return to the lips by about 75 to 85 minutes, or by more than half.

I think the jab costs less then $11, but will probably end up closer to $50 by the time your dentists pushes his thumb on the plunger of the syringe

Seems like a good idea, but it's too bad the reduction of time wasn't greater. Hopefully it won't raise the dentist bill by too much. Many people have a hard time paying for the dentist bill as it is.
