cavities
i have to get a cavity next month and the dentist said that they wont have to numb it because its gonna be small or whatever.. im just wondering if it will hurt if they dont numb it ..from a scale 1-10 and since this is not my baby teeth anymore, will the cavity stay on my teeth forever or will it like fade away?

Well the pain all depends on how big and deep the cavity is. At my old dentist, we never had novacaine no matter how deep it was. Just grip the arm of the chair and breath.
And because it is a permanent tooth the cavity will stay there forever, only it wont be a cavity anymore, it will just be a filling.

Yeaupp they did that to one of my teeth. It really doesn`t hurt that much there is no pain it`s just when there`s digging it out it stings soo badd. & it hurts when you gave to keeps your mouth open for about 20 minutes. From a sclae of 1-10 it was a 5 for me bvecasue of the stinging.
Hope I helped =D

ahh i've had it done before without it being numb. i actually think it's better like that. it's probably like a 4 for the most pain.

the cavity they would drill out then they'd fill it in with either algamte (it's looks blakish) or another type of filling i can't remember it's name but when it's filled in it's white so you can't really see that they've drilled out the cavity. your cavity would stay there but it would be cleaned (they drill out the parts where they can't do anything about) and filled with those two fillings i had described before. you're lucky that they found the cavity while it was still quite small because the bigger it is the deeper the dentist has to drill and the deeper the dentist has to drill the more likely it'll hurt because they are bound to hit a nerve. if it's reativly small it should hurt about a one or two on a scale of 1-10, if you are really lucky it might not even hurt. just remember to take care of your teeth in the future so that you won't have to go back to the dentist to fill out another cavity =]once your dentist drills your teeth to remove the cavity your teeth would be weaken and it wouldn't be what it was before. so take good care of your teeth especially since now your teeth would have to last you for your entire life time. hope that helps =]

I got cavities filled where they didn't have to numb it and it doesn't hurt. Maybe like a 3 or 4. I also got a cavitiy where they did numb it and the worst part was the needle and the taste of the medicine. You're lucky.
