I currently have a small hole in my molar that doesn't cause me any pain or discomfort when eating and I've already been to see my dentist to make an appointment to have it filled. I'm concerned about what is going to happen because I've never had a 'big' tooth filled before and I cannot stand a needle in the gum area.
Has anybody had this performed? If so, what happens? +REPP.
i've had a filling before the worst part is the needle but i'm sure you could ask for the numbing cotton stuff they have instead?Quote:

I didn't get any numbing thing for when i got a hole drilled in my tooth :S
i'm sure it depends on the size of the hole and at current i can't decide whether it's big or not.Quote:

Nothing to worry about now but my face is still numb and trying to ask for the correct fare on the bus was a nightmare.Quote:

Why? Fillings don't tend to bother me after they've been put in. If the filling you've had is bothering you then you should return to your dentist.Quote:
