Can there be some alcohol in novocaine or other anesthesia used in dentistry?

Shouldn't be: Alcohol is not anesthetic agent used for injection. Lidocaine and others block the transmission of nerve impulses by affecting ion transfer along the nerve. Alcohol does not possess that property.

No: Not in the local anesthetics used in this country.

Novocaine Use?: No. There is no novocaine used today in the usa. Period. Can't get it. All local anesthetic has no ethanol (alcohol) at all. Period. Any that does isn't from the usa. But if in doubt, just ask your dds/dmd. If they say yes, decline treatment.

Definitely, no: Injectable local anesthetic does not contain an alcohol. Moreover, you do not drink any alcohol 24 hours before you receive the anesthetic.
