Abstract
No one likes to visit the dentist – not only for time reasons but also because the dentist usually causes pain. To avoid such pain one makes generous use of local anesthetics. Patients occasionally experience circulatory collapse after such injections and become unconscious. The local anesthetic is presumed to be the cause. A person may be allergic to local anesthetics, but this is rarely the case.
