Lidocaine or carboc: dentists typically use lidocaine or carbocaine if you have blood pressure or heart problems. Your dentist will probably use a non-adrenaline anesthetic, carbocaine

Lidocaine: is the most common local anesthetic that dentists use. There are many others. They all have names ending in "caine" e.g articaine, procaine, etc. Good luck.
