Does getting a filling hurt?

What do they do? Will it hurt afterwards?
Answer:
As a dentist I can assure you that getting a filling will not hurt. Your dentist will first give you an injection of Lidocaine in the gums to block the nerve in your tooth from feeling any pain, the injection itself feels like a slight pinch and is over before you know it. Your dentist will make certain your gums are numb then he/she will drill out the decay in the cavity, fill the tooth and cure it to harden the filling with a special UV light. After a couple hours the injection will wear off and you might feel some minor discomfort, I always advise my patients to take Motrin (Ibuprofen) to help ease pain. Good luck and don't worry, you have nothing to worry about!
Yes and no. The initial Novocaine shot hurts but after that it's pretty painless. The weirdest thing is when they are drilling and you taste a smoky substance it feels weird though. Afterwards you will talk funny until the Novocaine wears off and you might have a drooling problem.
Well it all depends. If you decide for Novocaine, it will not hurt, other than a really little pinch at the beginning. All they do is put a piece (I'm not sure of what) into the cavity, and then warm it up a little bit (it isn't really hot, just warm) and your done. The worst thing is after wards your mouth will be numb (for about an hour). It will probably take about a half hour or 45 minutes in total. Don't be scared or you'll expect worse.
If you're properly frozen, the only thing you will feel is pressure. Dentists use very sophisticated tools to remove the decay so I wouldn't worry about feeling any pain during the actual filling, afterwards, you might feel a little sore, just take some advil. It won't hurt for long. Good luck and don't worry.
The dentist will numb your jaw with Novocaine so it won't hurt. It will hurt a little later but not that much. Tylenol will stop the pain.
nothing but pain!!!!!!!!!!...
well they will take uand give u a shot in your mouth %26 then they wil dril a whole in ur tooth then they will put the filling in then u cant eat or drink 4 i think its a hour b/c ur mouth is so numb that if u go to drink or eat then u mite bite ur jaw %26 that can cause serious damage. 00o0o0 yeah %26 u will talk funny 4 a while.but kno it dont hurt...well to me anyways ppl are diffrent so idk.
