Abstract

Dentists frequently change local anesthetic formulations on the basis of a patient's experience of adverse effects. Frequently, less effective anesthetics are selected because a lack of understanding exists regarding the nature of untoward events. This may exacerbate the problem. Allergic reactions are overreported, whereas fear responses frequently are unrecognized. This article outlines the clinical problem of adverse reactions to local anesthetics in dental practice. Clinical recommendations based on proper diagnosis are provided to prevent recurrence of the problem.
