I had one a few years ago - also to one of my front teeth. Easy, totally painless, and no fears if I should need another in the future. I did keep my eyes closed throughout, though!
You'll be fine - honestly

They don't hurt much, however if it is a front tooth the problem down the road might be blue tooth.

I've had 3 and it wasn't that bad. The techniques have improved a lot since then, too.

Its ok, just feels a bit sore for a couple of days. Dont worry, just do what you have to & preserve your teeth.

I had one about a year ago and it wasn't bad at all. With technology today its done in about 1 hour. I have had others in the distant past and it took 2 visits before it was done. I was pleased and surprised at how much it has advanced. I didn't feel any pain at all...........

I've had more of them than I can count..seem to me better than a normal filling as they seem to last forever. Just take that injection at the start where you are numb for the rest of the afternoon and everyone's name begins with a Ssssssssss..then you'll be fine...

I had one done last August and it was fine.Don't worry,dentistry nowadays is completely different and far more refined than it was ten years ago. Relax,you will laugh at how uncomfortable you felt about it once it's been done,honestly.

I had two done and a few weeks later had to go back and get them pulled out . They even charged me for that as well.
