Cavities/Pulled Teeth

So I was wondering...

How bad does getting a cavity filled hurt? I brush my teeth all the time and I've never had a cavity. Just was curious.

And how bad does it hurt getting your wisdom teeth ripped out? :X

And for a topic:
Have you ever gotten a cavity or teeth pulled?

I've had all four of my wisdom teeth cut out, meaning... not grown in yet. ^_^ It was amazing.

I was put to sleep, teeth cut out, stitches, then woke up... Mommy bought me ice cream, all I tasted was blood. :( Slept alot, pain, blood, sleep, etc. :]

I'm such a wuss. ;_;

Getting cavities filled does not hurt. I got three of them when I was 5 or 6, before I understood how important keeping your teeth clean was.

I got my three wisdom teeth out this last summer. You get general anesthetic, so you don't feel anything when it happens, but it can kinda hurt in the following days. It's annoying more than anything, because it can take several days to stop bleeding.

I've had a cavity filled. It doesn't hurt, it just feels weird and unpleasant.

Ive hafd all my fillable teeth filled in. The dentists fills you with novacaine. sometimes 2 needles. sometimes 1. most ive had at once is 3 shots for 5 fillings

Getting your cavity filled doesn't really hurt at all. There still is some drilling involved, but your so full of nova cane that you won't even feel anything.

I've never had my wisdom teeth pulled but my g/f did. They put her to sleep so she didn't feel anything at first. But later after she woke up and the drugs wore off, she said it hurt like a bitch. She also looked like a chipmunk for about a week.

Edit: People posted and now my post seems redundant.

I never had a cavity. ^_^

Oh god...I'm supposed to get some fillings and wisdom teeth pulled x.x

Hopefully I'll never have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. My teeth are generally pretty straight and I have good teeth. *prays*

Thanks for the info to those who posted.

Twice. Hurt a bit, but not too much.

Getting a filling doesn't hurt. It's annoying, but not actually painful.

Having teeth pulled also isn't painful if they're baby teeth.

Having your wisdom teeth out... that entirely depends. Mine were fully grown in and barely impacted, so I mostly just took advantage of the drugs and ice cream and wasn't bothered much at all. However, if they aren't grown in and/or are impacted you can expect notable pain, so I hear.

I had six fillings last month. Two of them went really deep and hurt like hell. They have to drill into the tooth and sometimes they hit nerves. They basically scoop all the crap out and fill it in.

A couple of years back, I got one set of wisdom teeth taken out and thinking I was tough enough, I told them not to put me under but just numb the area. Well, somehow, they must not have used enough because I could still feel the teeth being broken and let's just say next time, I'm going to be put to sleep before I even get there just to make sure I don't have to endure anything like that ever again.


Take care all.

Well, I've had a filling! But it didn't hurt; I found it kinda fun. But teeth pulled = no. I don't have that kinda relationship with dentistry. :shifty:

He just kept saying 'Is it safe?'
