It sounds from your description that it went into a vessel, not the nerve or soft tissue. That means it raced through your entire body. IV (intraveneous) and into a blood vessel is one and the same. I've heard of this happening although, it's not a common thing.
Here are some links about this very thing. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Dentistry...-Novacaine.htm

Your dentist sounds like he was trying to cover his arse on a mistake. Not a major mistake, but still he should have come completely clean with you on this.
