no, they numb your mouth and you feel nothing

The needle stings a little, but then your whole mouth goes to sleep and you can't feel a thing. And when it thaws, I never had any real pain either.
You may be able to find a dentist that actually puts you to sleep for the procedure - but this can be expensive and of course there are risks about being anesthetized too. I suggest if this is your first time you just go and see how much you can take. It's not a pleasant experience, but it's less stressful than some other medical procedures and it is a part of life.
Good luck, be brave, and TELL the dentist that you're nervous!
Oh and don't drink alcohol to try to relax before the appt, it will make you bleed more and is dangerous.

All he/she will do is use a q-tip dipped in novocaine or some other medicine that will numb your gum (some dentist use a shot to do the same reason - to numb your gum), and you won't feel a thing. I've had this done, and it didn't even hurt.
If you are nervous during the dental work, take an mp3 player (or an Ipod, walkman, or some other player) with earphones with you so you can focus and enjoy the music, while the dentist focus on your teeth. It will help you to relax too. :)
You'll be fine....don't worry.

No. it doesn't hurt, but I must have went to a bad dentist because my filling kept falling out, and everytime I got one, it made the hole in my tooth bigger. Now, I only have half a tooth left and my nerves are visible so when I eats sweets it hurts really bad. So make sure your dentist knows what he's doing.

wow yes - you sound really nervous with the questions you ask...
i had the same thing going...nowadays i do a lot of meditation and looked for a truthworthy dentist and i actually began to fall asleep during the appointment. strange, huh? but really: meditation helps a lot!
otherwise: you are called the cure: everything is going to be just fine!
if you are scared of the noise of the drilling take an mp3 player with you - it helped me coping with the wisomteeth operation (verry vrery ugly noises i could luckiely hardly hear...)

It will hurt if the doctor touches the nerv, but only after the anestethyc stops working.

First they numb you with a q tip so that you don't feel the injection and if it is done right ...it doesn't hurt at all. I think you will live to walk out and see the sunshine. I will pray for you....

The only pain you'll feel getting a filling is paying the bill afterwards...LOL

it's the cleaning process before that can hurt ! I'd ask for a sedative or laughing gas ( needles are my last resort ) although, it's better than hittin' the ceiling !

My daughter who is 14, is really really scared of the dentists.
one thing that scares her the most would be the sound of the drill etc...
i found if she closes her eyes and puts on her MP3 player load, she doesn't;t worry as much.
Try it and see how you go.
It;s only the noise that everyone hates.

no pain with fillings i've had lots of them. The drilling is nerve racking to me. It makes me so irritated but no pain
