How to Survive Your First Cavity: 4 Tips

Getting your first cavity filled can be a scary thought! At the age of 25, I was told that I finally had my first cavity and I needed to get it filled. Honestly, I was a bit nervous about the experience because I knew it involved a shot and a drill.

In all reality, getting your cavity filled is a fairly simple process and nothing to worry about. This video talks about my experience getting my first cavity filled and offers a few tips on how to survive your first cavity.

For anyone who is scared. It doesn’t hurt at all. I’m telling you guys it is painless. The only annoying thing is the taste from the shot and keeping your mouth open.

Thank you so much. I’ve been stressing out about sitting listening to drill sounds for 30 minutes but you’ve definitely eased my nerves. Wish me luck.

Something I did when I got my braces on and off was put in headphones and listened to Netflix. It helped distract me and it made the process go by way faster

I got my first filling today. For me I felt a slight pinch for the shot. I was afraid when people said "pinch." I thought it'd hurt, as someone who is afraid of a shot, it doesn't.
They said they used air against my tooth which hurt.
It felt really uncomfortable and after you can't really move your lip. It's uncomfortable smiling too. I wouldn't recommend smiling. It took about three hours for all the numbing to go away. I'm still somewhat sore but it's nothing much.
In my opinion, getting a tooth pulled is worse.
If I could give one piece of advice, eat beforehand! Def won't make the mistake of not eating beforehand.

Helpful video. I’m getting my first cavity filled next Wednesday. Sadly my hygienist caused my problem. I was given information on a new flossing technique, where by you glide the floss in and out of the gum line. This has caused food debris to get trapped under the gum line and has eaten through to the dentin.

I’m in the waiting room and terrified but this helped me be just scared!

If the needle was actually painless, I would do it everyday. Just get to chill with headphones on

[erinachi]

Well, after watching this, i was reassured. Thank you. <3 By the way was the sound of the drill too loud?

[callistatimm]

Ok thank you so much I am not getting a cavity filled but whenever i go to the dentist i get SO scared and the scariest part to think of for me is the needle and the drilling! Hoping my fisrt cavity wont be for a couple of years!

I just found this video and I have my first cavity filling today 😬 I've had teeth pulled out before so I've had the whole numbing process but that doesn't make me any less nervous 😟
