I'm getting 5 cavities removed! The dentisit said that I should get shots for them?

Does it hurt? DO they do a couple of the cavities at once or one every appointment? My dentist said this is bcause I just got my braces off and a lot of kids who have just gotten their braces off tend to have cavities. Is it better to take the shot or just go without it? Does removing the cavities and filling it hurt after you take the shot at all?

You have to have a shot to numb the area that the dentist needs to drill/fill. If the cavities are small enough, the dentist will not numb, 9 out 10 chance you will get a shot. I would rather have a shot, then feel the entire drilling and filling process in 5 teeth!





In regards to if they will be able to fill them in one appointment or not depends on the dentist and where the teeth are. If they are close together, then most likely they can be done in one appointment. If they are spread out across your mouth with at least one tooth in each quadrant needing treatment, then you will probably need two appointment.
Reply:They will probably do several at at time and the injection is not bad, they may offer you Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to relax you...
Reply:They numb up your gums with a topical anesthetic before giving you the shots so they don't hurt much. It is not as bad as getting a shot in the arm. You don't feel any pain during the drilling but many people find the sensation as the drugs wear off unpleasant.





I imagine it would be painfull to get your teeth drilled without it so you should probably get numbed up. Very few dentists will use nitrous oxide for fillings.
Reply:I didn't have cavaties when I had my braces off... shots doesn't hurt ... I have had cavaties filled twice ... at first it made me feel dizzy and nauseous because I didn't eat the second time because one fell out and they did the shots again I felt fine. They filled all my cavaties at once. Your mouth with feel numb for a while ... I will reccomend you take the shots .. I am not a dentist but I had mine drilled a little.
