Dental Health care, Getting a shot by a dentist to have filling done
So I have never been to a dentist that I can recall in my whole life. I just turned 18 and I went into the dentist for a check up and cleaning with my 20 year old brother. He was helping me pay for the dental visit.
I found out I had 10 cavities. My brother who when he first was able to see the dentist had four cavities and told me the shot they had to give him to numb is gums hurt. I am not scared of going to the dentist and having the filling done but I do not want to have any shots.
The though of having a shot in my gums is freaking me out, and I do not want to have a dentist do that. Is there any way I can just be put to sleep instead of having shots in my gums?
