The dentist will usually give you a local anesthetic to numb the area. The decay (caries) is removed with a drill until no decay is present. Depending on the depth of the decay, the dentist will drill into the area of the tooth until no more decay is present. Then a sedative is placed in the cavity space, then a permanent restoration is placed, usually a white colored filling (Resin) or a silver filling (amalgam). The dentist will contour the filling to your bite and that's it. Pretty easy and painless. You may be told not to eat on that side of your mouth for a few hours to allow the filling to set and also you will be numb. You need to be careful about not biting your lip, cheek or tongue while you are numb. The anesthesia wears off in a few hours.
