Can you stop yourself from getting a filling once the dentist has told you that you have a little hole starting and i might need a filling?

As a patient you always have the right to refuse treatment, but it really is better to get a filling while the hole is still small. It's much cheaper and less prone to have complications later.

Do you have to watch how hard you bite after getting a filling?
If you are still numb, then be careful - you may bite down harder than you realize and hurt yourself or the filling. If you aren't numb, your filling should work as well as a real tooth. If it doesn't, your dentist needs to fix it or you need to find a new dentist.

You had a filling in your tooth about 12 days ago your dentist explained that the whole in your tooth was deep but you are still getting a lot of pain from the tooth should this be happening?
Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca
Can you take Tylenol after getting a filling at the dentist?
Yes you can. You should actually take some before the procedure so that there is no wait for pain relief.
Why are your gums sore after getting a cavity filled?
It is likely due to the injections received to numb the area previous to the actual filling. It can be caused by the dentist hitting gum accidentally with the drill or something. Or the dentist flossing too hard, or the clamps they put around teeth when filling can aggravate the gum line, or the filling itself if the hole is close to the gum line.
If a dental filling falls out in two months should you have to pay for it?
You should expect to pay for the filling for the first placement. If you should pay for subsequent fillings on the same tooth depends on why the filling came out. If it was due to trauma, such as getting hit in the face, then yes, you probably ought to pay for the replacement. On the other hand, if it simply broke off, it may have been that the dentist was trying to be too conservative and placed a filling where a crown was really needed. In that case, the doctor ought to credit you the fee for the filling towards the fee for the crown. If you suspect that the dentist is simply incompetent, seek a second opinion or just find a new dentist.
How much pain is in getting a tooth filling?
The amount of "discomfort" depends on the location of the tooth and the size of the cavity. Usually, the dentist will numb the area, which isn't that painfree, but after that, all is well.
What happens if you need a tooth filled?
Dental fillings are quite simple. First, the dentist will ask you weather you want to have an injection to numb your mouth so you do not feel any pain. If you do decide to have an injection, the dentist may put some numbing gel on the place of injection or they may not, it really does not make any difference. The dentist will then leave you for a minute while the anesthetic takes affect. Next, the dentist will use a drill to drill out the decayed and weakened parts of the tooth. This may feel a bit funny but should not hurt. Then the dentist will wash and dry the now clean cavity. Finally, the dentist will place a special underlining, such as resin, to protect the nerves and blood vessels. Then the filling will be placed into the tooth. Depending on the type of filling, it will dry in a few seconds or the dentist may use a blue light to set it. Good luck on your filling. I speak on experience, I had a filling done a few hours ago.
