Depends on the local anesthesia, like lidocaine with epinephrine can have side effects or anaphylactic reaction.
Yes, it could be nerve damage, bleeding, prolonged numbness of the gums, it’s not very common and you have to ask your dentist more details about dental anesthesia before your procedure.
The risk of anesthesia is the same no matter where it is administered. However, if your dentist is giving anything besides local anesthesia, the level of training they get is widely variable.
