Does getting fillings hurt?

[tomanders91]

Got dentist on tuesday, and i need to have about 3-4 fillings at on my teeth at the back, they are only small ones but some people have told me it really hurts and some people have told me you hardly feel a thing.



PS: This isnt ment to be a medical thread, im not asking for advice or anything, just a question (before a mod locks it).

im not bothered about the injection, when i had to have a tooth out i needed a couple of injections and they didnt hurt.

Well thanks for the advice, not as worried now

Are the teeth in the top of the mouth or the bottom? If it's the bottom you're ok, they inject into your gum and all you'll feel is a tiny scratch. If it's in the top then you're screwed, they'll inject the roof of your mouth which is absolute agony - think of that scene in Marathon Man.

thanks lol, there in the top i think.

Ive had an injection in the top before and it didnt hurt, but i dont think it was in the root of my mouth, only the gum.

i beleive that they are only small ones, so hopefully they should be fine.
