Novocaine is a pain killer. It is used most frequently by dentists; the dentist will apply a shot of novocaine to the area of the mouth that will be worked on.

The shot numbs the area big time.
Just a slight correction. Dentist use Xylocaine or Carbocaine for local anesthesia, but we know what you meant.I happen to know a little about this topic since that is my day job.
Dentists used to use Novocaine, exclusively, but patients began to react to the preservative. Different preservative in Xylocaine/Carbocaine - less adverse reactions.

I had a housewife complain three years ago about the cattle prod that I was using (20,000 volts). So, I had to revert to things that were less painful. It makes the learning process so much slower than before. It's amazing how quickly you can change something with a little jolt of electricity.

That is why they call them "Hot Shots"!
