Yes, it can. In order to intelligently opine on whether or not your dizziness may be due to a local anesthetic, I would need to know your weight, what local anesthetic you received, the concentration, and the amount. As dizziness is a highly nonspecific symptom, there is a myriad of potential causes, often contributing simultaneously.
Yes, this can be an allergy or side effect.
