It depends on what part of the ear you are getting pierced. Having your love pierced often is completely painless, whereas having cartilage pierced hurts a lot more than a novocaine shot for most people.

Should I get my small cavity drilled without or with Novocain?
It depends on your tolerance to pain. Even if your cavity is small, if the drill or polisher gets near the nerve, its going to send shocking pain. I had a very deep cavity that I had filled and had mistakenly taken quite a bit of Vitamin C before the procedure. Vitamin C will prevent Novocaine from working. It was very painful, but at my threshold. On the other hand, Novocaine is pretty shocking to the body and to the immune system itself. If you're thinking of forgoing it for health reasons, and the cavity is small, it might be worth it to give it a try. You can always ask for Novocaine halfway through if you need it.

What is benzocaine?
Benzocaine is a type of gel that dentist's use to numb your gums before getting a shot/injection in your mouth. Dentist's use it for when you are getting the filling for a cavity. So when the injection goes in you will feel no pain at all. The gel comes in a few flavors (most often) and you will get to pick which one you want. They will usually take 1-2 drops of it and rub it on the part where the Novocaine(which is in the shot) will be injected. Therefore it will ease the pain, and you will go out smiling.

What does it feel like when getting a cavity filled with no numbing medicine?
No. When I was a child, fillings were routinely done without anaesthesia or numbing. It did hurt, but you could take it. Sometimes the Novocaine shot can be just as brutal. Of course, those were also the days when you got a sugar candy treat on your way out as a reward for being good. We hadn't really made the connection between sugar and cavities yet. Things are better now on both scores.
