Answers:
Don't worry too much. Having a cavity filled isn't that big of a deal. I had to have a cavity filled last year. I'll let you know that before that day i was soo worried, i got sick to my stomach and got really anxious. However it wasn't bad at all. I went and they sat me in the chair. I told the dentist assistant that i was kinda nervous and so she told me it was all ok and that she would be there for me. They put the numbing gel on my gums and then when i couldn't feel anything they put the shot in to totally numb it up. I will admit that the drill sounded scary but it wasn't too bad. And it was over faster than i thought it would be.
My advice to you would be to not worry about it too much. Many people get cavities filled every day. A short time of discomfort is better than having your tooth rot away and the pain of that. If you still feel nervous about the procedure you can talk to your dentist about having them gas you before they work on you. This way you will be totally knocked out and won't be able to see or hear what they are doing. This alternative may cost a little more but it could be better for you because then you won't have to worry. I hope that this helps you
