Where do you get a shot at when you get fillings?

Question

Like,do you get a shot in you arm or gums?

Answer 1

In your gums. They rub something to numb the area before they stick you.

Answer 2

the novicane shot is in your gums. the area of your gums depends on where the cavity is but it can be just about anywhere in your mouth. if your dentist is good, he'll use a topical gel first. that numbs the area temporarily so that you can't even feel the shot.

Answer 3

Of course it goes in the gum but it doesn't really hurt. It has a little quick sting. It's not as bad as it seems. Some dentist have another way of doing it; that's even better. They get better at their work for the comfort of their patients.

Answer 4

The shot of novacaine will be injected through your gums, near the affected tooth. The novacaine is injected so that the corresponding facial nerve root is affected, so not only will your tooth and gums be numb, so will your lips/cheek/tongue areas that are innervated by that same nerve root.

Answer 5

In my experience, it has always been a shot in the gums.
Several factors influence the performance, durability, longevity and cost of dental restorations. These factors include: the patient's oral and general health, the components used in the filling material; where and how the filling is placed; the chewing load that the tooth will have to bear; and the length and number of visits needed to prepare and adjust the restored tooth.
There are two types of dental restorations: direct and indirect.
Direct restorations are fillings placed immediately into a prepared cavity in a single visit. They include dental amalgam, glass ionomers, resin ionomers and some resin composite fillings. The dentist prepares the tooth, places the filling and adjusts it during one appointment.
Indirect restorations generally require two or more visits. They include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges fabricated with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics or composites. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth and makes an impression of the area to be restored. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory, which creates the dental restoration. At the next appointment, the dentist cements the restoration into the prepared cavity and adjusts it as needed.
