Yes. Mine was a very rare case, but it shook me enough that I (personally) won't go under general again if a local is a safe option.

We all respond differently to pain management and sedation. I don't get freezing at the dentist, for example, because I'd rather just deal with a few minutes of pain from the drilling and have it over with; other people prefer to be put right under to have a cavity filled.

Your mileage may vary. 🙂
