A member asked:

Minor questions, anesthetic would numb everything, even your jaw, right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: General anesthesia works on the brain and will render you unconscious during any surgery. Local anesthetics work by numbing certain nerves, and will not affect your consciousness.
