Does it hurt to have a dental filling?

Answer 1

Well I'm 10 and five days ago I got two cavities filled on the right side of my mouth. iT WAS THE EASIEST THING EVER!!! The only thing I was afraid of was getting the novacain shot, and I shouldn't have been. Before your dentist gives you the injection, ask him to put a little bit of numbing cream or gel, on your gum. When he actually gives you the shot, you WILL NOT FEEL A THING!!! The only thing you will feel is a little bit of water on your mouth.... The only thing that may be a little achey is keepin your mouth open while the dentist "drills" Ps. It's not actually a drill, it's a little tube that blows really strong air and cold water onto your teeth... The only thing to watch out for would be not to eat for a little bit after you get it filled. It's not bad for your tooth, it's just that you might bite your lip REALLY hard and not notice it ( I did it a million times and now my mouth still really hurts) GOOD LUCK. :)

Usually it does not, depending on your pain tolerance it ranges.

Answer to cavity fillingNo, not much. Oh, and there may be a short amount of "stick" pain as she shoots novocaine (sp) in the gum before working. Make sure he/she gives you laughing gas. Then you may feel pressure as she is working. Breathe through it, listen to her and imagine a favorite place you like to go while she is working. Prayer is good too. :-) AnswerA dentist usually uses local anesthetics before removing a cavity so that you don't feel pain at all.

After filling the tooth, you might experience some pain to cold for a few weeks.

AnswerFilling a cavity doesn't hurt at all. I just had a cavity filled a week ago, and the only thing that hurt was the little pinch when they put the novacine in. But that didn't hurt at all.

Just don't think about it a lot, and you won't have any problems. Hope I helped!!

AnswerPersonally, i just had 9 of them done two days ago. They'll give you a shot to numb the area first, and then they'll drill the cavity out of the tooth, if this hurts, say something to your dentist and hell give you another shot, and after that it doesnt really hurt at all, just make sure you don't eat anything sticky after you get them. THAT hurts. AnswerThe first two or three times I got a cavity filled, I did experienced pain, even though they gave me novicane. It was odd because I would feel nothing for most it, but the last quarter-second of the proceedure would bring a really intense burst of pain in the area. However, when I brought this up, my mother suggested I tell the dentist. I did, and next time I got a cavity filled, they gave me more novacine. That time, I didn't feel any pain. I'm getting four drilled tomorrow, though, so after that I should have an even better (or possibly worse, depending on how you look at it) answer.

Just got those cavities filled. No pain (except for the very minor pain of the shots in the gums).

Well for me, it didn't hurt to bad and I'm only 11 and this was my first filling. Really all they do is numb your mouth, give you a shot but if your mouth is numb, it only feels like a tiny pinch, then put the actual filling in and then after about an hour, you will feel no pain and you can eat and it will feel normal. I hate getting regular shots they are the worst but really these ones aren't bad at all.

It doesn't hurt, just it's one of those things, u want them just to get it over with , it's pretty annoying.

A filling does not hurt and your dentist will advise and give you anaestetic. In some cases, they use a cream to numb the teeth and mouth before the fillings are done. No, not if they numb it first, but then you you have to put up with your mouth being numb for about 4 hours. Visit premierdentalsydney.com.au

Answer 5

You'll feel a slight discomfort from the anaesthesia but after that you wont feel anything. After getting the cavity filled its normal to have sensitive teeth for a couple of days, if the pain is really bad or lasts a long time then you need to go get it checked out

Answer 6

Honestly I do not know because I am about to go and have one done in literally half an hour so please please please tell me it DOES NOT hurt. The only thing I am worried about is the injection could someone help me????

=No way!==I had one and it felt like someone was tickling my tooth, it was so COOL!==If u are scared of dentist go to www.teethulike.com==They are so COOL they treat u REALLY nicely!==All the bad dentist stuff is COMPLETELY FAKE!=

Answer 8

The filling can't hurt, it's got no nerves. Getting the filling can hurt, unless you opt for the anaestethic.

Answer 9

Really, It depends on how serious your case is, but there's no need to be afraid, most fillings will not hurt. Promise!
