A dentist uses Novocaine to anesthetize the area he will be working on so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. Some people are allergic to Novocaine and can not tolerate the injection. Many people choose not to use any form of anesthesia. If you can handle the pain, you don't have to use it. My suggestion would be to ask the dentist to begin the procedure without it and see if you can handle it. If not ask for the injection. Only takes about 5 minutes to numb your mouth.

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 broke off a piece of your lower right back tooth below the gumline Will you be able to save the tooth?
The piece that broke off I don't think you could save, but if you have some tooth left, I belive you could get a filling or something. It also depends if it was an adult tooth. If it wasn't, then you don't have to worry. But if it is, then I think you should go see a dentist soon and see if they can help fix the tooth in any way. a dentist couldn't possibly answer this question
