A cavity really isn't that big of a deal. When they inject you to numb your gums you will feel pressure on the gum...but it doesn't really hurt. If you can get nitrous try to get that. My dentist gives it for free . What really hurts is getting crowns....uhhg that feels bad.
You will probably hurt once the medicine they shoot into your gums start wearing off.

I would suggest getting something other than an amalgam filling.
It's debated whether the amount of mercury in it can cause harm, but if I had a choice, I would choose to not have a highly toxic substance put in my mouth.

It's not that bad. Being scared of it makes it bad. The needle is uncomfortable but not usually painful, and after that you're numb so it just feels kind of weird.
The filling doesn't really hurt after.
I'm getting a filling today actually.

Wow, that sounds shitty. Sorry man. Maybe I shouldn't have pried.

I've got some of those and the white kind. Honestly, I don't think they would do the amalgams if there was anything to worry about. But from an aesthetic standpoint the white fillings are much nicer. You can't even tell they're there. With the amalgams, you open your mouth and everybody says "Holy crap, you've had a lot of cavities."

I only have had one cavity in my life, unless I had one in my baby teeth before they fell out. All they do is use a cotton swab around the injection site with something like orajel, so your gums are already numb before they inject the novicane. i didnt feel nothing when they injected it, no pain at all. I waited 10 minutes, then they started the drilling process, it was all good, I didn't feel anything, totally numb! it was so cool, I smoked some weed before the dentist visit, so I already was mellow...it helped a lot!
