No, the filling itself doesn't hurt. However, the dentist has to widen the cavity a bit to smooth out the edges, etc. with a drill. Before he does this, he will give you a shot of Novocaine so you won't feel anything when he drills. Usually the dentist will numb your gum with some sort of gel applied with a Q-tip, so you won't even feel the shot!
The worst part is the sound of the drill. If your dentist offers you headphones so that you can listen to music, by all means take them! Good luck! gigi
