Does it hurt get cavities removed???
you can't get a cavity removed. they fill them in. and i don't know if it'll hurt. if you're not in pain now because of the cavities then it shouldn't hurt. it just depends on how bad the cavities are.
Reply:Depends on how bad it is. often times, you'll be taking some mild sedative do ease the pain.


But to tell you the truth, the pain is mind-numbing. a drill bores through your gums and you feel intense pain! like someone poking the inside of your teeth with a chisel and hammer! Muwahahaha!! lol just kidding you won't feel a thing. at least until the anesthesia wears off.

The most common cause of a toothache is a dental cavity. Dental cavities (caries) are holes in the two outer layers of a tooth called the enamel and the dentin. The enamel is the outermost white hard surface and the dentin is the yellow layer just beneath the enamel. Both layers serve to protect the inner living tooth tissue called the pulp, where blood vessels and nerves reside. Certain bacteria in the mouth convert simple sugars into acid. The acid softens and (along with saliva) dissolves the enamel and dentin, creating cavities. Small shallow cavities may not cause pain and may be unnoticed by the patient. The larger deeper cavities can collect food debris. The inner living pulp of the affected tooth can become irritated by bacterial toxins or by foods that are cold, hot, sour, or sweet-causing toothache. Toothache from these larger cavities is the most common reason for visits to dentists.
Reply:A lot of dentists will give you some gas that'll make you sleep through the whole thing. Sleeping or not, they numb it up so you don't feel anything. Your mouth will feel like rubber and you'll probably drool because you won't be able to feel the spit to automatically swallow it instead. It wears off in a few hours (same day). Lots of times, you can get prescription pain killers if you're concerned about pain, but there really shouldn't be much lingering after they're done at the office.





They use a drill to dig out the rotten part of your tooth, clean out any bad bacteria, and fill it back in with either metal or a compound tinted to match your normal tooth color. Just be sure to brush regularly around the work they do because if you let the plaque build up around the filling and eat out what the filling is holding on to, the filling will fall out and you'll have a hole in your tooth and have to get a new filling. Not cool, but also not an issue as long as you take care of brushing and flossing from now on.
Reply:the first part is unpleasant, which is the anesthetic injection. i am such a sicko that i look forward to that part now. anyhow, my advice to you is to keep your eyes on the light that will be suspended over your face. do not look at the instruments the dentist will use, you might get queezy. once the dentist is finished injecting the anesthetic, you will become numb. he may drill into your teeth, but you will not feel it. once it is over, the soreness will be very mild.
