Cocaine is a great local anestheic. The risk of infection is simply putting it on your gums and then the dentist injecting lidocaine into the area. That needle and lido are sterile, the coke isn’t.

So theres a small chance but Im not sure how to quantify it for you. I mean, the coke should be mostly absorbed by the time you see the dentist
