Getting fillings and scared . HELP !?
Sealance's don't hurt. They put this stuff in your mouth that's really sour, but that's all.


Why don't you ask them to give you the gas? Tell them how nervous you are about people in your mouth.
Reply:I have had probably 20 of them and they don't hurt. Its actually much less painful than getting a shot at the doctors because they numb you first. First they numb your mouth with some novacaine, then they give you a shot where they rubbed the novacaine. It doesn't hurt because they numb your mouth with a topical novacaine where they are going to give you the shot. You are numb for the rest so it is painless.
Reply:Oh, there's nothing to it at all. They give you shots and then you don't feel a thing. %26amp; then if you feel anything just say so %26amp; they'll give you another one. I've had nine fillings so I know. %26amp; Like the other girl said, ask for gas. The gas works wonders because you think everything took place in like 15 minutes when in reality is you've been there for hours.
Reply:Take it easy. Dentistry doesn't hurt nowadays, and most dentists are very understanding about nervous patients. They'll probably give you some novocaine and you basically won't feel anything. You really need to calm down and think about this: people go to the dentist and get fillings every day, and nobody dies from it. Most people have only the most minor discomfort, if any. You are no different from anyone else, and you're not going to die from it either. Get a grip. Face your fears. You will find that it isn't nearly as bad as you imagine. Over the course of my lifetime I've had dozens of fillings, a crown, a couple of root canals...as a kid I had to wear braces for years (and that was painful at times) but I haven't had much pain from regular dentistry. You'll be fine.
