A good dentist will try to eliminate all discomfort. My family recently switched dentists to one that caters to cowards (my husband and kids are the cowards). I could care less who I go to. As far as the pain goes, I have never had a problem except for one time when my tooth just would not get numb. It was horrible. My entire face and all the way down my neck was numb but I could still feel the drill on the one tooth. Since they had already started to drill, they had to finish and put a temporary crown on it. Thankfully it was a small cavity. I can't say it was the worst thing I've felt but it wasn't pleasant. My son's last fillings were small and he had those done without the shots. He says the shots hurt worse than the fillings. I think that has more to do with the mental fear of the needle. My grandmother has always had fillings done without anything for the pain since she's allergic to all of it. So, if my 93 year old grandmother and my cowardly 12 year old can do it, you can to. Just prepare yourself mentally and remember to relax when you're there.

You will be fine. You will feel a pinch from the injection but not much more than that. I know it is hard but try to stay calm. It helps to breathe deeply and slowly while getting the injection to concentrate. Take along an IPod or walkman to listen to during the appointment and that will help. Dentistry has come a long way and it really isnt a big deal, but of course you wont believe that till after the appointment!
Also depending on the size of the fillings, you may want to take some Ibuprofen before the appointment to help with any soreness afterwards, mainly from having to keep your mouth open!

Yes, it will hurt. But only the shot.
But, the only alternative is to leave the cavities there until they continue to erode into your jaw and you get a big infection. That will hurt for days or weeks and may even require surgery.

Technology is far advanced now! dentist follow painfree procedures with precision instruments.Going to a dentist is no longer painfull.and a filling is just a piece of cake at the most it may hurt you for 3 seconds(for ur entire procedure).
Just make sure u visit a good well experienced dentist

It will not hurt if you have a good dentist. The worst part is getting the shot, but they numb you up first. I'd rather have a filling done than go to the gynocologist!

It should not hurt at all. Tell the dentist that you are nervous about it hurting. They deal with this all the time! If it hurts, even a little bit, tell the dentist that you want more numbing.
You'll be fine! Try not to worry.

Nooo it really doesn't hurt!!!!! Before they numb your mouth with Novocaine they will put anebesol or orejel on your gum so it doesn't hurt!! I was scared when i got my first filling to just don't look at the needle close your eyes or stare at the celling or count!! At any rate just relax!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
Good luck sweetie!!

ok, so i have had that happen to me as well, and only about 3months ago too. i would be lying if i said it would be pleasent, but the fillings won't hurt, your having an anasthetic right?? well i would hope so, and mostly, the needles are more uncomfortable than painfull. it'll be fine, and trust me, even when the anasthetic wears off, it doesn't hurt at all, and if it does, it couldn't be more painfull than not having them filled at all.

The worst part is having to be numbed up. You will probably have some soreness and some cold sensitivity afterward, but if you have a good dentist everything should be fine.
