How badly does cavity filling hurt on a minor cavity in a front tooth and will i look weird after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fillings: That are minor/small many times do not even need anesthesia. If you require anesthesia ask the doctor to use an anesthetic without Epinephrine so it will not last as long(gen an hr with this type) and though you may feel numb and weird you will not look weird. Talk to your dentist.
