[QUOTE="Star*, post: 120442, member: 4964"] Shari, What most people ARE allergic to is the solution that epinephrine is put into for the preservative. Most people have racing heart, palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling like they are choking, cold hands, numbness and the sensations can last for a few minutes or hours. I forget what the preservative is - but more than likely that is what you are having an allergic reaction to. The other thing that 'can' happen is that the dentist can put the needle directly into a vein, or nic a vein when injecting you . The most common local anesthetic used in dental offices is lidocaine. Others include prilocaine, mepivacaine, bupivacaine (carbocaine) and other drugs with names ending in "-caine." Since you had a reaction - if you have other drug allergies - ask for articaine. Novicane isn't used anymore. I would certainly at the very least call your doctors office and tell them that you had an allergic reaction. Please mark it down.
