I was nervous to. One was a little deeper, so they numbed that one with novacaine. the other was pretty shallow so I opted to do that one without any numbing. It didn't hurt any more than getting a flu shot. More uncomfortable than anything. I had a bad headache the rest of the day. My mouth still feels a little weird, but I'm almost used to it now. My teeth feel so much bigger, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652394 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:00:31 +0000 Bao 652394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: haha well that's good ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652232 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:56:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 652232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the anxiety, for me, is worse than the pain. They will numb you up so you don't feel anything actual pain, but you'll hear the drill noise and feel pressure. Some places provide headphones for you, which I think is a great idea. It will be over before you know it, but you'll probably be numb for a few hours and might not really be in the mood for dinner. Treat yourself to something nice tonight-- a bath, ice cream (once you can feel and eat), a manicure... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652226 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:55:21 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 652226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hurts way less than childbirth :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652225 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:55:19 +0000 blackbird 652225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had fillings done without the novacaine--it's not very painful unless it's a very deep filling. the worst part is the super numbness afterwards. I feel like a fool trying to eat or drink until it's worn off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652220 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:53:47 +0000 loveisstrange 652220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really doesn't hurt, your mouth will probably still be numb for a while and then your teeth will feel a little strange for a week or so but it's really no big deal.</p> <p>It doesn't take too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-to-get-my-first-ever-filling#post-652211 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:51:10 +0000 Bao 652211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...and I have no idea what to expect! Will I be super sore afterwards? Does the procedure take a while? I'm nervous lol. </p>
