When I was in my early teens I chose to drill three teeth (it was the only time I've ever had any cavities, and I had three at the same time) without anesthesia because of an intense fear of needles (I usually fainted when getting vaccines). It did hurt quite a bit for all three teeth, but I was able to keep my mouth open for the whole procedure. Another advantage is that I didn't sound weird while talking after the procedure, which seems to be common if anesthesia is used.

Does filling a cavity hurt and how does it work?

It shouldn't hurt at all, however, if it's a deep cavity, they might blow air into the cavity and ask you if it hurts. That's just probably to see that they won't be filling in a plaque filled cavity. All they really do is fill it with a substance and let it dry. Simple and Painless really.


Do you have to get a needle if you get a filling for your teeth?

Yes you do. But normally it is just one. Injections can hurt but only for a bout 3 seconds. Having an injection makes your mouth go numb which means you can not feel you mouth, lip and teeth, It also mean that when you do have your filling you wont feel a thing! Remember that to mak the injection hurt less relax and it will be over i no time!

No surgery hurts in and of itself, because you are under anesthesia. But there will be some discomfort afterwords, of course.


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.
