Description of service

One day, after brushing my teeth I noticed a little black dot inside the top of one of my back teeth. First, I brushed my teeth again, making sure to brush that area well, but unfortunately it was still there. I knew I needed to make a dentist appointment. I found a dentist that was near by, and made an appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, they first cleaned my teeth, then they took xrays. It was in fact the start of my first cavity. My dentist had to drill out the cavity, and then fill it. Before he started he numbed my mouth with three shots of novocain, in order not to feel the pain. The shots aren't so bad, they just feel like a little pinch.


Review of Service

My dentist was very patient, which was great, because I don't like pain at all. It really wasn't so painful, to my surprise. Afterwards you have to refrain from food, and drinks for two hours or so. I was also happy to see that my dentist had very updated equipment, to make it easier, and faster to do his job.


Tips

Relax, it really won't hurt as much as your thinking it will. If you stay calm, the whole procedure will go a whole lot faster.
