Why do dentists inject noradrenalin when they inject anaesthetic?

Injecting no-adrenaline (noepinephrine) with an anaesthetic could help keep you awake while on it.
I was told by a dentist epinephrine is mixed with anesthetic to increase the length of time the anestetic is effective. Without it, the numbing effect would wear off much more quickly.
Although the above answer may be correct in that epinephrine increases wakefullness, it is not the reason it's mixed with some anastetics. Further, I don't know why one would want to remain more awake during a dental procedure, and I'm assuming the question was asked becuase some do not like the feeling (or perceive to at least) of epinephrine.
The Dr explained to me, the reason why this works is noradrenalin or epinerphrine restricts blood vesels slowing blood flow from the area, which in turn slows down the process of the anestetic getting flushed out of the area and ultimately cleared by the body in whatever way it does so.

Noradrenalin doesn't exponentially decay, therefore the term "half-life" is meaningless.
Can you use inject in a sentence?
The company needs a cash injection if it is to stay in business. I've had an injection of anaesthetic in my gums so the Dentist can fill my tooth. The fuel injection system on my new car is fantastic.
Who invented chloroform as a anaesthetic?
Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr is reputed to be the first person to use anaesthetic. The invention of anaesthetic, also called narcosis, is not that old. The first successful operation under anaesthetic was carried out in 1847. On that occasion chloroform was used. This method was slightly more effective than the ether that had previously also been used as an anaesthetic. Chloroform was used mainly by dentists to alleviate the patient's pain. For this purpose special anaesthetic masks were invented. The oldest known anaesthetic masks is that of the Amsterdam dentist Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr. Under the mouth and nose sections are sponges which hold the chloroform. This slowly anaesthetises the patient and keeps him under narcosis. Once the patient is unconscious the flap can be removed from the mouth and the operation can begin.
