And which cavity are we talking about?   Hee Haw.  lmfao

Answer 2

I have a phobia of the dentis but a filling is basically No sweat. I just had a root canal done because i had a broken filling. I heard so many stories about it hurting and bring painful but it was no.

First when you get into the dentist he will numb your gums and around the tooth. Tell him you are a little nervous about the pain and he will give you either gas to calm you down or just extra numbing shots (which only feel like a small pinch).

Once he gets started its just uncomfortable. I mean you have your mouth open and there is some pressure. its really quick. (20-30 minutes at the most)

My dentist lets me listen to my ipod while he works. That will help too. After the filling is finished, there is no pain. Just wait until the numbness wears off and you are good to go.

You can even chew on it right away.

Good Luck

Go to the dentist!  I am paranoid of it and I still go!  The worst part is the novacaine shot (which does hurt...for a minute) After that they have to remove the decayed portion of the tooth, which involves a drill, then the filling is applied.  Generally, it will take probably 45 min to an hour.  But most dental offices want you to have x-rays and a cleaning BEFORE doing any dental repairs.  In the meantime, try using Act Restore mouth rinse to keep the cavity from getting worse.  But GO TO THE DENTIST!!! It's really not that bad!

When i got my cavity filled it didn't hurt at all. Usually they inject a numbing serum then scrape the cavity out then fill it, but i BEGGED them not to inject me, and they didn't and it didn't hurt!
