Aftereffect of novacaine?

I was at the dentist on Thursday (2 days ago) and had some work done replacing some fillings on the right upper part of my mouth. They used something (I presume novacaine) to numb the mouth - injected into my cheek. The right side of my mouth was numb and dropped for nearly 7 hours, and currently I'm still sore at the presumed injection site.

Is this normal? Or possibly a bad reaction? The dentist stated that it should be worn off in about an hour, but that was not the case at all. I go back next Tuesday for the other side of my mouth, and want to know if this is normal or if I should alert him (Obviously I'll mention it to him regardless).

Thanks!
