my cavity looks …
my cavity looks nothing like that. my teeth are really weak no matter how much i brush my teeth or how much milk i drink(i drink at least a gallon every 3 to 7 days. my dentist’s instrument barely penetrated my tooth and he said i have a cavity. i have to get a filling in a month.( hopefully it won’t affect my saxaphone playing or i’ll be mad)

A filling *from a …
A filling *from a patients perspective*
1) They had a look and cleaned out the cavity. Explaining what they would do.
2) They injected me with a needle, although it looks evil and like it’s going to hurt, you feel like basically you’ve just had a little pinch.
3) After 5-0 minutes they called me back in and drilled the cavity down, filled it with a liquid, shun a UV light for a few seconds, all done.
I’ve had a lower filling before, and they’re the ones that give the most numb. Painless.

one time i had a cavity and they said it was so small the i didn’t need the Novocaine It did tickle a bit when they were drilling it. soon they said that they have to remove this tooth an well i was thinking “WHY WHY ME??” So they took out that tooth…does your lip feel really fat? I like that feeling.Except for the pain afterward ,I’ve gotten at least 10 or more cavities but most of them were caps not fillings I’ve only gotten 1 filling.I like it better than the cap!
