I've been told by a dentist that many patients go for a general anesthetic, when local anesthesia might be, medically, the best choice. I was told this after I had discussed options with the dentist and chose a local anesthetic.
Does it happen in other, medical, areas that people will choose a general anesthetic over a local anesthetic, when a local anesthetic would be more suitable?

Or, was what the dentist told me wrong?
