A local anesthetic only affects the surface of a tissue. It works by blocking nerve signals in a specific area, providing pain relief without affecting the patient's overall consciousness. Common examples include lidocaine and benzocaine, which are often used for minor procedures or to relieve pain in specific areas, such as during dental work or skin treatments.
