I typically feel every little thing and my mouth is super sensitive, so they always give me gas in addition to the injections and they normally use a lot on me so i don't feel anything. My dentist is really nice though- i recently had to have a lot of dental work done, including a root canal- so i've probably been to the dentist and endodonist more times in the past few months than anyone would ever want to!
They always try to make it as painless and calm as possible (going to the dentist freaks me out!) I normally bring my ipod with me and listen to it to distract me if they have to do any kind of work. It helps a lot!
As far as the anesthetic wearing off- it normally wears off within a few hours, so it's not a big deal for me
