Even though allergic reactions to local anesthesia are rare and even more so among elderly people, the present case demonstrates that a medication can be tolerated for a significant period of time before causing an accident. This illustrative case details the true nature of complications observed following local anesthesia and suggests a way of approaching the same to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. This method consists of a rigorous analysis of the clinical manifestations and allergologic testing. Local anesthesia is indispensable for both the dentist and the patient and anyone with allergies is at risk at being allergic to general anesthesia as well.
