I have to get my cavities filled today, advice?!


Question: I have to get my cavities filled today, advice?
I hate the dentist and most importantly I hate shots. Does it hurt when you get your cavities filled? I'm just a little worried :|

Answers:

As much as I wish I could tell you that it doesn't, it does. Depending on where your cavities actually are they could potentially give you up to six shots in your mouth, but its usually only two.. The actual filling of the cavities shouldn't hurt too much if the numbing is done properly, which usually it will be, but I absolutely cannot stand the sound of the drill. You can still feel it, but it won't really hurt you at all.

Pretty much, going to the dentist sucks no matter how you look at it, but I guess its just a part of life those of us who aren't homeless have to deal with :P

Totally worth it, though, just stay calm and dont flip out with the drill in your mouth like I did :P



Make sure that the dentist does not put the metal fillings in your teeth. When you eat or drink something hot, they give off mercury vapor which is very toxic to your nervous system. Ask them to put the ceramic fillings in.

Like the other comment...the more relaxed you are the better. Make sure you tell the dentist your fear because they can tell you to close your eyes and put something on the spot to make it numb before the shot. You'll be fine :)

No it shouldn't hurt at all. I had two done and it was fine. I'm not saying that I enjoy it because I don't. Jabs too I dislike but think about it, without them to deaden the pain, it really would hurt! Don't worry you will be fine. Just sit in the chair and think of something or someone nice! Best of luck'

Only a little bit, just don't get too worked up about it, that'll make it hurt more. You'll be fine :)
