My right eye has been twitching for the past 4 days, I had a big dental procedure done which consisted of more novacaine than I thought was normal, my eye was numb and now that it has worn off that same eye has been twitching ever since... Is this permanent?

twitching of eye is blepharospasm. dental procedure and inj novacan is not related to twitching. due to common nerve supply the eye may be numb. but not related to ntwitching. they are separate entity. it is a ticks. does not requere any treatment. some time it is linked to anxiety. try to reduce anxiety. may be meditation and yoga will help you. it s not permanent.
