How to know if i need to get an injection for a small filling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends how small: It depends how small and the pain tolerance of the patient. I fill many children's teeth and adults teeth cosmetically without injections. Class IV and Class I and some Class V resorations can be done without injections.
