Dental Local Anesthesia and GA05/09/2011 |
Can people have dental local anesthesia safely, if they had reaction to general anaesthesia ie, airway problem?
Thank you for your question. This should not be a problem at all assuming normal doses of local anesthesia are used. It is good to remember that sometimes a drop or two of local anesthesia can "drip" down the throat and may feel very strange with perceived difficulty swallowing. It may scare you, but is not a concern. You should be fine.
Good luck.
