I need to get 2 cavitys filled on Jan. 2nd....more info?

So I had to go to the dentist a few weeks ago. While the dentist was looking at me, he told my mom I had 2 cavaties (okay, several more, but lets not talk about that). 1 cavity was reeeaaally tiny, it was just a blackish hue between the two front teeth. The other cavity is a lot bigger. It goes straight through my tooth. It is the tooth next to the first two teeth (called buck teeth for some), the next tooth on the right.





It goes straight though the tooth, but it has never ever caused me pain. I can gentley poke the hole and I can feel the taps on the other side of my mouth.





So here is the thing:





I HATE THE DENTIST! I was going into the dentist room the first time telling myself I wouldn%26#039;t cry or freak out. I was doing well...but then when the dentist told me I needed 2 cavities filled, I freaked out.





Could someone please explain what they will do differently for each cavity, and how I can stay calm?

When the dentist fixes your teeth she/he will use numbing medicine so you don%26#039;t feel it. So ... once you are numb you won%26#039;t even know what is going on.





You can ask your dentist to give you something to help ease your anxiety such as nitrous oxide and oxygen or a sedative pill to take before your appointment. If you do any of that you will need to have a parent with you to take care of you.





Good luck!
Reply:my hubby%26#039;s dentist uses gas to kinda make you %26quot;out of it%26quot; before they do any work. my hubby hates needles and this is the only way that he can get his dental work done. you should check and see if they use gas or anything. if not, find a dentist who does.
Reply:ok frist thing of all you defentely dont want to end up passing out in the denist office. you need to take breath and think postive. the densit will numb your gums, muscles, ( most of your mouth/face) it will feel funny but it prevent you from suffering any pain. they will give you shot but only last about 10 seconds then numb will start work off in 10 mins. you will do just fine just need to calm down. think postive. again just be calm down and take breath.
Reply:It%26#039;s not a big deal. The numbing thing goes away in a few hours and I don%26#039;t even feel the application of it. I nap during some cavity fills.,
Reply:The above two answers should do it, but ask for nitrous oxide gas, it%26#039;s sort of like a sedative. Your %26#039;buck teeth%26#039; by the way are actually called central incisors, and the two teeth to the right and left are called lateral incisors.
