My Experience

I had cavities and so I needed fillings in my upper and lower teeth. I first had my gums numbed with gel, and then with a Novocain injection. The dentist then started drilling to remove the decay, and while I could hear the drill, there was no discomfort. He put composite fillings in and it was done. My mouth was numb for about two hours afterwards and then my teeth and mouth felt normal and fine.

 

My Advice

It’s a simple procedure.
