Anesthesia

Anesthesia can be local, regional or generalized. The purpose is to allow for procedures without the patient feeling pain. This can be anything from having a tooth pulled to open heart surgery. The different levels of anesthesia can cause an area to be numb all the way to putting the patient in an induced coma.

Drilling cavity without anesthesia hurt?

Anesthesia i think is a drug that you inhale to make you unconscious so the doctor or staff can work. When the patient wakes up it doesn't remember the surgery. It is inhaled so the patient does not feel pain.
