  • @CudiSoDopee thankyou i feel soooo much better now! thanks alot for your help:)

  • @MrLonewarrior6 It doesn't hurt at all. She'll give you a shot so your mouth will be completely numb. Oh and the shot doesnt hurt at all. just a pinch then you cant feel anything. I guess I'm just used to it since almost all my teeth have a filling. lol.

  • @AticEnigma25 I had 17 so far, lol

  • @WoWDemondays The dental assistant should be there with the suction during the procedure to remove the excess water with the HVE, so, if she is doing her job right you shouldn't have a problem with this :)

  • does the drilling part hurt alot? im really scared im gonna get it soon!

  • I hate the water. It feels like im drowning and im scared to swallow the water.

  • I never got any shot for any of my fillings. I can tell you now, it doesn't hurt at all. I don't get why everyone needs to get numbed just to get a cavity filled. Its not that big of a deal and I have three fillings and nun of them required me to get my mouth numbed.

  • michelle is one foxy chick...

  • It didn't hurt at all...but my dentist numbed the area where he was giving the shot with some gel stuff, so I didn't even feel the needle. Makes me sad that I moved to another state since and I have no idea if my new dentist will make it that comfortable :/

  • i have had one in my front teeth and he placed a metal thing in the gum right behind the tooth that normal
