My cousin has a cavity....

Question

she has a little cavity and she's my age but she is scared as heck and i don't know what to tell her... like what's it like? its on her molar in the back on the top right side? So she wants to know what are they gonna do to her.. HELP PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

they will put numbing gel on her cheek and then put a numbing shot in where it is already numb. and then they will drill a small hole after it is all numb. then they will put the filling in. it is no big deal.  

Answer 2

she will probably jusat a have couple of small fillings

Answer 3

Tell her it won't hurt at all. they'll have her sit down and put some 'jelly stuff' on her gums to numb the area for the shot. The shot will numb her completely. they put a bite block to keep her mouth open.She can hear the drill but she won't feel a thing. she'll be out of there after 10-15 min. after they are done, they'll ask her to bite down to see if the filling fits and doesn't effect her bite. her teeth will be sensitive after a half an hour, she shouldn't eat anything hot or cold for a few hours. the numbness will wear off in a few hours. They might even ask her if she wants laughing gas. it relaxes everything in the body and feels good. they'll tell her that she might have a small toothache. If she does, take a pain reliever.

Fillings aren't that bad. especially if you have a small cavity. I was scared after the first two cavities. I came out wondering why i was terrified.
