This study shows that the majority of people do not know the effect of local anesthesia on the patient’s life because 23.5% answered yes, 33% answered no, and 42.9% answered I do not know. Through the results of the participants’ opinion poll, we found that 87.8% of them are aware of what a local anesthetic is, and some of them are not aware of it at a rate of 26.5%, as evidenced by their answer that is it used in forestry?

When asked about the risk to their lives, 33% answered yes, while 33% said no, and 34% said we do not know, and this is also further evidence of their knowledge and familiarity with local anesthetics.
