There are three types of anesthesia: local, regional, and general. Local anesthesia is used to numb a small area of the body, regional anesthesia is used to numb a large area of the body such as an arm or leg, and general anesthesia affects the entire body.
The purpose of local anesthesia is to numb the immediate area of the body for either surgery or some other procedure that is likely to cause pain. Many different local anesthetics are available.

Local anesthesia would be most appropriate for a surgical procedure performed on a very small area of the body, as in dental procedures.
Typically there is no anesthesia used when doing body piercings.
Propofol is mainly used as an induction agent in general anesthesia and would not be used for local anesthesia.

Anesthesia is safe for pregnancy as long as its local anesthesia. It is also good to check with your OB before getting any dental work done.
