Since the 1970s, numerous other local anesthetics in the &#8220;-caine&#8221; family (e.g., articaine, mepivacaine, and prilocaine) have been developed.\u00a0Though extremely rare, some people are allergic to amide local anesthetics.\u00a0In these cases, novocaine is often used as a substitute because it&#8217;s ester-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-21\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novocaine causes numbness in a localized area for a brief amount of time.
