The pain from the needle entering the skin depends on the location of the shot, the skill of the doctor/nurse, and the gauge of the needle.
I'm going to be honest... yes.Another View: If you have a 'good' doctor or dentist, they will numb the place where you will receive the novacaine shot with a topical anesthetic which they will apply with a cotton swab first.
it is the shots dentists use to numb your mouth before they work on you
You gotta be a true puss
novocaine
Novocaine can make you feel drowsy or groggy due to its effects on the central nervous system. However, the tiredness is usually temporary and wears off as the medication's effects diminish. It is important to avoid activities that require full alertness, such as driving, until the effects of Novocaine have worn off completely.
It is very possible that novocaine can make you feel sick. It is a common problem that novocaine will cause nauseous.

Putting ice in the area before you get the shot is a good way to make a shot hurt less. This can numb the area well. While you still might feel the poke, it won't be as bad.
For me, they did not hurt.
A local anesthetic is a mild anesthetic used to numb a specific area of the body (such as a Novocaine shot). Novocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic, though there are topical local anesthetics that can be rubbed on the skin (i.e. Oragel)
Novocaine is a synthetic derivative of cocaine.
