A question about fillings?
Answer:
Every filling I have ever had, I ALWAYS had a shot of local anesthetic first, and I have had 3 different dentists in my lifetime. I would definitely recommend find another dentist who has more empathy for the patients.
i know how your daughter feels, when i was younger my dentist NEVER used any type of numbing product. thats just how they do their practice. everyone is different. my opinion i would look for a different dentist. it is truely painful.
If a dentist knows he's not going near the nerve in the tooth then an injection isn't necessary. With some people, especially young people, the injection itself is very frightening and painful. (I used to be that way myself! I would try to talk the dentist out of giving me an injection!)
The discomfort your daughter felt might have been from the vibration, or something that novocaine wouldn't have helped.
In cases like this, my own dentist uses gas, because it's painless and relaxes the person. Sometimes he uses gas just to get them through the injection!
It should never be anything like that. I have never had that happen to me or anyone I know. You always receive an injection before. You have very gentle nerves inside each tooth. That doesn't sound right.
Egads.
Personally, I have concerns about fillings in general. I believe the adhesives are toxic and if you have the metal fillings, the fillings themselves are toxic. I also don't like that they have to make the hole even bigger before they can fill it. For future reference, I'd rather take myself or my kid to the dentist once every other month for a pro cleaning than risk a filling in most cases, but that's me.
That aside, it sounds like you got the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors. I'd take her to another dentist for a second opinion on both the job that dentist did and how he did it.
OMG. that is sooo weird i am 12 and i had 2 fillings yesterday and they gave me 2 shot's 1 on each side of my mouth where i needed the fiilling. she prolly needed a shot.And the sand blasting is the part of the tooth coming off & forming a whole.It's normal. It shouldn't hurt it feels like u eat something 2 cold. Well it wouln't have really done anything with out a shot , but it woulnt hurt as much if she did have a shot she would feel better. and she will be in pain 4 a while.my mouth is really sore. But it shouldn't matter if she didnt have a shot.
