Pain is amplified in the brain. Stop reading these boards. This boars is a phobic patients worst enemy. Phobia's compound themselves independent of the actual experience. Stop reading these posts.
Yesterday this kid came in and you could tell he couldn't here us. We kept saying one thing and he would repeat back something completely different. Ok I'm gonna put the chair bak a little, NO don't pull my tooth.and so on. That's how phobia's work they alter the experience so that you experience what you believe.
Distract yourself at the dentist. Take a CD player. Watch the patient video's. hold the assistant's hand, dont break her fingers.

I worked as a Dental Assistant, And normally we put on a Topical Anesthetic on the portion of the mouth where your suppose to get the numbing injection. The topical helps some, i wont lie to you.
I had a filling done while working there, it depends on how bad the cavity is to, if its big it will hurt more even when anesthetic has been applied, that happens because the cavity has touched the nerve. If the cavity is into the nerve then you need a root canal, and now that is painful.
Look, when the doctor is about to put in the injection, take a deep breath, ask him if he can pinch your cheek and wiggle it while he's injecting. Our doctor used that method in many occasions and it seemed to work, even on kids.
hope this helps, good luck.

it actually relies upon on your dentist and how good he/she is at administering the novocain. My dentist frequently makes use of a community numbing brokers with a cotton swab to numb my gums formerly he injects the novocain so i visit't even sense the needle. yet I actually have had dentists in the previous that did not try this. There are also dentists that provide you the alternative of creating use of guffawing gas besides to assist relax you. the point is, once you've a good dentist, getting a filling might want to no longer be painful in any respect. yet once you've a nasty dentist or in case you do not enable your dentist recognize that the numbing agent isn't operating it would want to be a painful journey. that's what i imagine you may want to do. tell your dentist that you're worried about the technique and to make constructive he / she numbs you up exceptionally actual. And if in the course of the technique you may sense something do not hesitate to enable your dentist recognize - he / she will be able to gladly administer more effective novocain so the is going away. Getting a filling might want to no longer be a painful journey. Getting teeth pulled is way worse.

I just had 7 cavities filled yesterday. The only time the needle hurt was toward the front. He said the closer to the front, the more pain there is. Thank God I only had two up front, because it really was painful there. Everywhere else was virtually painless because of the topical he used. (FYI- I have passed out 99% of the time when dealing with needles....this was a breeze)

when i got my filling the doctor did this cool thing to distract me from the needle. she pinched my cheek and rapped it up and down rapidly and told me to pay attention to to that action so i wouldn't notice the needle. it's a little psychological but it worked. i didn't feel the needle at all.

No. It's a pinch that lasts for less than a second.
