Yes, you can drive after local anesthesia, if you did not receive any sedation.
Local anesthesia by itself does not prohibited you from driving afterwards. However, most times patients are given a sedative for procedures so be sure to let the doctor know you will be driving afterwards

Yes in most cases . Depending on where it’s administered.
