cavity ahh!
Tomorrow I have to get my first cavity done.. ever! I'm so scared because I know they have to numb your mouth with novocaine by putting a needle through your gum! I have such a fear of needles or anythign sharp but I still have to get this done. Does the shot really hurt that much? What can I compare the pain too! Thank you

I know how it feels because i have gotten my mouth numbed 6 times! It really only feels wierd more then it hurts. It really doesnt hurt, so dont worry! Also, it will be over eventually! good luck! hope this helps :)

um... it usually doesn't hurt at all but if the dentist has to use novocaine then i believe that the cavity is really bad.. i've had my cavities filled since i was a kid and trust me the needle is just a pin prick compared to the pain you'd feel if the dentist didn't use novocaine. if you've ever accidently poked yourself with a pin thats how it feels like but you won't feel the pain pretty quickly because it's an anesatic. i've never had to use (or rather my dentist never used anesatics before) any anesatic but if the cavity is really deep it'll hurt like hell if your dentist doen't use novocaine. just relax and it'll be over before you even know it. hope that helped =]

Since I was like, 8 I have been getting fillings for cavaties. EVERYTIME I went to do one i would always cry and make my mom hold my hand during the needle and it would take me 20 minutes to finally let the dentist give me the novacaine. But when it actually went it, i was like "Thats what I was crying about" You hardly feel anything!

if you're afraid of needles you can probably request laughing gas instead. the actual process doesn't hurt at all. they drill down your tooth around the cavity then fill it with a sealant. it's not a big deal. take a CD player.

no, it really doesn't hurt that much... if at all! i barely even notice when they do it. most of the time they'll let you listen to music (at least, at my dentist) or you can probably bring a portable cd player or mp3 player to take your mind off of it. you won't be in much pain at all. they might even give you a little cup of numbing stuff to drink like 30 minutes before you even sit down in the dentist chair! so with that and the fact that it's just a tiny little bit of pressure you feel on your gums, you're not going to be in much pain at all. and if they give you laughing gas, you're going to be too goofy to notice much of anything! it'll go by really fast and soon enough it'll all be done with.

I just had a cavity not too long ago and the actual process doesn't hurt at all because your mouth is numb. The needle thing though, doesn't really hurt, but it might make you wince and your eyes might water. That's what happened to me, it could be different for you though. But it doesn't hurt that bad, and it only lasts no more than 5 seconds. I don't mind needles, but I'm terrified of what they use at the dentist on your mouth, so I know how you feel. And also, in case you wondered, the numbness should go away in about 4 hours after it's done. Ok I hope I helped answer your question and good luck! And don't worry, it will all be over sooner than you think. :)

i have had one done before and it doesnt feel that bad. yeah i really hate needles too. once they do it your mouth my feel weird on that side because it will be puffy. they always say a pinch but i think its just the same pain as a normal shot which dont hurt to much. dont freak out. it will be over before you know it. if you have anymore questions feel free to email me!!

haha sweety sorry to make you feel worse, but take your gum at the back of your mouth and pinch it hard i mean HARD IF you want to find out the pain......really dont do it...it will hurt to badly.....trust me .... i did that just for you.. i pinched my mouth to see if i could compare the pain to that... and i had it done when i was little... it will hurt a whole bunch......during and after......and since your getting your cavity done it will hurt even worse after it happens sorry..but you should have brushed your teeth and took more care... i do now considering on what happened to me when i was 6

Since you are scared of needles, it will probably hurt for you. But, right after it happens you dont feel it anymore, your mouth goes numb. So, you will only be in pain for like 5 seconds
good luck

Dear Cavity Ahh,
I don't thyink you hould be worried about it because when they numb your mouth it doesn't hurt that is why they numb it so you woin't feel a thing. So there is nothing to worry about just close our eyes and you won't feel a thing. You will be surprised that you are actually done when you are. Good Luck!

hi
this doesn't hurt at all. i had a cavity a few years ago and it didn't hurt at all. since its novicane, you don't feel it. trust me on this. if you don't like the feeling tommorrow, try to prevent getting another cavity. but i am okay with it.
