Can u please tell me if a permanent teeth filling hurts?
i am sure you will get shot of anesthezia and then you won%26#039;t feel a thing! My dentist even put some gel on my gum and then i don%26#039;t feel a needle at all! It will be OK
Reply:Your dentist will numb you so you won%26#039;t feel anything but the prick of a needle. It isn%26#039;t any worse than when you got your old filling.
Reply:No, just a little pinch from the needle is all you should feel. It won%26#039;t be much different from when you had the other filling.
Reply:Actually I just got teeth filled today, and I can tell you it is no where near as bad as I expected! It depends on how bad the cavity is though, it may hurt a little, you can ask to be numbed though. The worst part is the sound the pain is bareable. I hadn%26#039;t been to the denist in year cause I was terrified, and it isn%26#039;t that bad.
Reply:they basically do the same thing they did to fill it the first time,and I%26#039;m sure this did hurt you some-didn%26#039;t it?
Reply:Take it easy. When you had your old filling put in the dentist gave you a painkilling injection and drilled a hole to remove decay and to make it clean for your filling.


To replace your old one, which is probably mercury and bad for your health, he will do exactly the same thing as last time but will put in a filling which looks better and is better for your health.


All you will feel is the injection.


That%26#039;s it.
Reply:They pull out the old filling however they can, sometimes they are ready to come out or they have to drill here and there to get it out.





Then they clean the tooth and drill to get a clean surface for the new filling, they dont take much off the tooth by doing that. Then they put their hocus pocus stuff on it to sterilize it, make the tooth bond to the filling and then voila, its in there.





the worst part is the annoying drilling.





If it hurts, you didnt get enough novacaine, tell the doc if you feel pain - but that means you have to have another shot.





Dont eat until the novacaine wears off, you might bite the inside of your mouth or tongue.
Reply:It sounds to me either you have a temporary filling from a root canal or they are replacing an old filling (silver?) with a bonded filling (white).





The steps on redoing a filling are as follows:


You may or may not need anesthsia (depends on the size of the filling), a root canaled tooth will not need anesthesia b/c the nerve has already been removed.


The old filling will be removed. If there is any decay underneath the filling that will be removed as well.


A blue substance will be applied to the tooth ( this is called Etchant or Etch). It will be rinsed off in a matter of seconds. ( It tastes sour so be prepared)


The tooth will be dryed and must stay dry from now until the filling is cured.


A primer will be placed on the tooth. And then air dryed.


Bonding adhesive will be applied and light cured.


Then the composite filling material will be packed into the hole. This will be light cured as well. It may take a few layers to complete.





You should not be in pain at all. If you are numb...when the numbness wears off it is possible to be a little tender (depending on the size of the filling and if the tooth has had RCT). If you do experience tenderness or sensitivity it is suggested to take ibuprofen to reduce any inflammation that has been caused.





You%26#039;ll be fine. Fillings are not a big deal. I hope I helped out by giving you the run down of the procedure. I know it always helps to ease patients minds if they know what to expect!
Reply:The only part that hurts is the shot to numb the gums.


It smells like burnt bread when they drill the tooth.


You%26#039;ll be able to eat about 30 min after the dentist gets done.


So it can%26#039;t hurt too bad. Huh?
