My first possible tooth filling!

They are always very reluctant to put you to sleep just for a filling, especially if you have breathing problems as there's always a tiny chance you won't wake up so it's not worth taking the risk for a filling.

I've had one filling and it was in a molar, but I got it removed this time two years ago so I guess I don't have any fillings now. I really don't like the needle part. The pain isn't bad, but my dentist made me keep my eyes open (so he knew I hadn't fainted, apparently :S) and all I could see was this big needle in front of my face!! :(
Other than that, the noises make me squirm because it's just so horrible but it's not painful I think.

Omfg I know!!! You're gonna give me nightmares again stahp :(

I have 11 fillings I think haha

Expect a needle if you're having a tooth-filled.

Or if you don't like needles (like me) some dentists will do it without (like mine). It hits loads of nerves and is quite painful but in 11 fillings I've never had a needle. I had a needle at the dentist once though as I had to have one of my baby teeth removed.

lol i am freaking out and ii should'e have done this but i got a woooden stick that was pointy and i used it to get rid of the wide stuff. luckily what was underneath hadn't rotted away :D i might do it again later to clear the other half.

I've only had 2 fillings if i can remember. Going to the dentist in a couple of hours for a check up !

i've never had a filling!

I have too many fillings to count, and too many extractions to match.

I prefer having a tooth pulled out as opposed to being filled, but from experience now, I'd probably prefer one filled.

When I go to the dentist, if she says I need a filling though I know it's going to be a lot cheaper than adding another tooth onto my palette.

I didn't mind the needles, then I did and cried every time, I then realised that after that I don't have anything to worry about.

i've had so many fillings wow don't get me started on my teeth

I've been having root canal treatment on 2 teeth for the past 4 weeks and it doesn't hurt, nor will a filling

you might die though

since yesturday i haave some serious case of nervousness if that's even a word. so i literally: clean teeth, mouth wash, eat, gum, clean my teeth, have salty water, eat again, have vitamin d3 tablets, drink water and have straws with drinks even with tea! so ya i hope i dont get one and hope if i have something rotting then hopefully it wont reach my tooth and that my enamel can heal!

I take health very seriously when it comes to my teeth. :S
