7 year old gets dental fillings- comfortably!

Dr. Tomasik walks through their approach to make sure all of their patients stay safe and comfortable while getting dental work done at Tomasik Family Dental

Key steps:
1) TV and headphones for distractions (blankets are nice too)
2) Nitrous (laughing gas) for relaxations
3) A great pre-shot numbing jelly
4) Getting a numbing shot without realizing it!
5) A skilled dentist to get the fillings done well as quickly as possible

This was amazing for my little guy who was having anxiety. He is more science based and finds comfort in watching videos to prepare himself. So, thank you for making a video to explain it's not scary.

I got my first filling in feb, it hurt so bad before the filling but during they gave me sleepy juice & gave me a 2 shots to numb it & gave me 5 minutes to relax, I raised my hand once for pain & gave me another shot, lasted abt 3 hours cuz my cavity was in my tooth nerve no soreness after, I got one yesterday & it was fast 1h & 30 mins, 5 shots because I was more scared then last time & now soreness (this tooth wasn’t causing pain but my dentist recommended to get it filled)

I get PTSD when I hear dentist talking to me when I keep getting fillings

My daughter needs to have two filled 😫 and we are thinking of showing her videos to help prepare so thanks so much for this! However I’m sooo nervous about the sedation (laughing gas) and looking for encouragement that it will be okay. Thanks again for the video!

I had one than got sick off of it my dentist went in with her brother she’s so sweet I go back this Wednesday maybe she missed something her dad will be able to see it was hard getting in cause shes on maternity leave

I just came home from a dentist appt for fillings for my 7 year old. The dentist applied the gel for 30 secs or less and immediately went in for the injection and my son was crying in pain because of the shot. I personally thought that was way too fast! I let her know this and she said she’s supposed to work fast 30 secs or less after the gel application.

That’s what she learned in school and she would get “docked points” for not doing it that way. I didn’t understand why letting the gel sit for a min or 2 first wouldn’t be a better idea?!

I was ten when I got my first filling and wasn’t numbed and It hurt like hell I wish this was my experience

So nitrous is the laughing gas is used to make them feel high and relaxed

My daughter is 7 & getting her first filling I’m nervous just as she is 😢

[MaryBraven-eq]

I just went to the dentist and fillings it really hurts I was nervous because I never got that done before I’m still numb

I have never been sedated for a cavity filling. My daughter is almost 7 and has a pretty high level of pain so I would opt out the gas as it mights trigger (even more) her tics. Maybe for pulling a tooth would make sense but for a simple cavity filling…

I watched this video to make me not scared because im going to get my tooth filled tomorrow and i dont know that im still scared but im scared of the shots tho and i got traumatized last time because i got my tooth extraction it was not really painful but i cried a lot!

[groovey]

My 5yo has a very very small black dot on her molar, does it need a filling?
