In the right hands, the dentist mirror hurts.

I've never found it particularly enjoyable, but there are things that hurt a lot worse. Most dentists seem to anesthetize the area before an injection, so it doesn't hurt as much. It's mostly just uncomfortable while receiving the shot, but once it's over, it's no big deal.

Most shots at the dentist don't hurt much if at all. They first numb your gum with a dermic anesthetic (a cream). So, by the time they give you a shot; you really don't feel much of anything.
The exception is related to gum grafting surgery. In this case, the oral surgeon has to give you a couple of shots in the ceiling of your palate. Given that there is not much flesh or room up there, you are going to feel these shots somewhat. It feels like a pretty good ***** or cut up there. But, it is a very short uncomfortable experience.
Thank god for shots... If not modern dentistry would not exist. We would all have rotten teethes, gums, etc...

It depends on what part of the gum the needle is injected into. Most of the time a doctor will put numbing gel on before they insert the needle so you dont really feel it though.

Well I will not lie to you. Its not going to feel like say a nice massage, but it is going to hurt alot less then a full blown tooth ache. Rotting teeth cause pain right at the nerve and nothing will sotp it. I had a tooth ache so bad once that it made me sick to my stomech. I crawled into the emergancy room and was begging them to pull the tooth. The needle you feel for a miniute of so then it gose away.

NO. As long as before you get the shot the dentist buts some special fluid (usually with a bit of cotton) which numbs the place where you will get the shot.Then you don't feel a thing!

yes it does hurt if you think it does. pain is all in the mind. but medically speaking, it should'nt be that bad because i think they'll apply some balm to make your gums feel numb. good luck with the dentist and remember... an apple a day keeps the dentist away!

no. my dentist puts numbing stuff on a cotton ball and then injects the needle.
Don't let people scare you. The worst part is anticipating!

No not really...it just feels like a tiny pinching sensation. It's not that bad. If your worried about it ask your dentist for some laughing gas so you won't really know what's going on. Hope that helps ya some.

have you seen one? that is the worst thing about seeing a dentist, when they stab you with the needle! It HURTS a lot! When it is all over your mouth doesn't usually hurt just the spot that they jab you with that thing
