Does having a filling hurt?

nope-just the noise -and burning smell

 

I've had one done without anaesthetic and I nearly went

through the ceiling when he got close to the nerve.

 

rather you than me mate

having ur wisdom teeth out is worse, but i made em put me 2 sleep

 

and the horrible vibration of the drill

got toothache thinking bout it now!!

 

right... and trust me I'm an expert I've more crowns than all the royal families of europe put together.</p>

Right, if it is in your front teeth have an anesthetic or it will hurt</p>

If it's in your back teeth, if its a little un you'll be ok if it's deep and near the nerve....anesthetic or else !!!!</p>

The anesthetic takes a couple of hours to wear off.</p>

Also LOOK AFTER YOUR TEETH wish I had.</p>

 

Not if she finds out, but of course you have to live with the emotional cost of the betrayal yourself. Will your relationship ever be the same again?

 

Thanks for the reassurance

everyone (well almost)

One thing the dentist said is the cavity is only just forming so it can't be a big filling. I'm scared of the injection more than owt else

 

RE: No-and it's best not to have an injection..............

any reputable dentist should give you a local,wouldn,t fancy haven one done without a local.

 

Tell your dentist that

Ask about skipping the injection, see what he reckons.
If he reckons the decay isn't so close to the nerve, it might be worth trying without. You can always change your mind - agree a "stop" signal in advance, like raising a hand and if it hurts too much, use it and ask him to put the injection in.

The injection itself is not too bad - it only lasts a few seconds. The top at the back is generally the least painful place for dental injections. It's a bit worse with bottom teeth and really quite unpleasant for top front teeth. However, if it's your first filling it's highly unlikely to be a front tooth.

The thing people tend to dislike the most is the altered sensation in your lip for 2-3 hours afterwards. You can bite yourself and it doesn't hurt until later and you may find it difficult to speak. You'll also find drinking liquids difficult - it just goes everywhere!

Anyway, it's no biggie. The fear of the unknown is far worse than what's actually going to happen to you.
