Allergic to anesthesic

[SmartyPants0]

My boyfriend needs to have a tooth out at the dentist. Unfortunately he's allergic to asprin and years ago was told by a dentist that he couldn't have a local aesthetic. I wondered if there are any new anesthetics available that he could have with out it killing him...
Anyone else got the same problem?

Proper local anaesthetic allergies are rare, maybe he could ask his GP to refer him for allergy testing. There are several different local anaesthetics, I think most dentists use lidocaine mixed with adrenaline.

Hi lady
He had a really bad reaction to nuropen some years ago and was in hospital for several days. He was told it was the asprin that he was allergic to and that all local anesthetics are asprin based... I was wondering if there was any new generation of locals that would be asprin free...
I guess just wondered what everyone else with asprin allergies dI'd in the same situation

I am an anaesthetist and no anaesthetics contain aspiring or ibuprofen. I think he needs to clarify the allergy... if in real doubt his GP may refer to an immunology clinic to arrange allergy testing.

I have a salicylate sensitivity (aspirin is a salicylate) and have had many local anaesthetics, last friday I had one, I told them of the aspirin issues and they said no problem. Just make sure the doc knows.

Thank you for that information...
I will suggest he goes to the Dr's and arranges an allergy test, he needs to know exactly what he is allergic to as I think he was given the wrong information at one point and now is to scared to try any local anesthetics.
Thanks all
