Does getting fillings hurt?

It really does depend on how good the dentist is.

I avoided the dentist for years after a nightmare filling, Trust me guys, untill you get a bad dentist, you dont know the meaning of the word "pain".

but have been back to a new private one recently out of sheer desperation
( I need about £2000 worth of work doing, lucky ive now got insurance) and they are great, really re-assuring.

Last time I went they removed a nerve, which sounds barbaric, but apart from the initial injection I didnt feel a thing.

The great thing about dental insurance is you can pick and chose your dentist, if one has a poor attitude/approach, you can simply ditch them and find a professional.

I still have to psyche myself up to go, due to ingrained mental scars, but am much more confident about dentists now.
 
After you have had it done, go and buy yourself some kitkats, the ones with the silver foil and chew on the foil, will make you feel 100x better. :cool:
 
Some hurt some don't, I've had to do a lot a while ago ( when I was 8) including pull some half eaten teeth ( with that I mean where litterally half the teeth or more has been eaten from inside). Small ones can hurt a tiny bit it may be annoying for a bit but it's only temporarly.
 
If you get any foil touching a filling, you will know about it......

Imagine being shot in the face with an ICBM.....simmilar feeling :)
