Help I have to have two filling

I went to the dentist the other day and was told that I have two cavities.   He wants to do filling for them.  I am scared that I will have to have shoots in order for him to do the fillings.   I am scared of getting shoots and do not have them done unless I have no choice.   Can he do filling with out shoots?

Is it okay to eat?  I had my filling done around one o’clock pm today.   It is not four and I am hungry but my teeth still kind of hurt.  Is it okay for me to eat some chicken noddle soup?  I do not want my filling to come out because I ate something to soon.   Also how long should I my teeth be sore for?

Help  I have an infected tooth and it is very sensitive to heat.  It hurts when I eat too.  How long until it just dies so I do not have to have this pain anymore?  I know that I should get a root canal or have it pull it but I do not have dental insurance.  Also what can I take for the pain until it stops?   Please I really hurt and Advile is not helping much at all.

I had a filling done

I had a filling done on one of my back teeth about eight months ago.  Now within the last few weeks that same tooth is starting to get sensitive to cold drinks and or foods.  Does it have anything to do with the original filling that was done eight months ago?  It is not real bad but I am worried about it getting worse.

I had two filling done about two weeks ago.  Ever since I got the filling my teeth still hurt when I eat.  Some times only the one tooth then the other and it is on and off again kind of pain.  The pain is coming from the two teeth I had the filling done.  I call the dentist and he said to give it two more weeks to see if the pain goes away.  If it does not to make an appointment to see him and he would check them out.   Does this seem right to you?

I just got two dental filling done on my teeth.  one in the back bottom of my mouth, the other one closer to the front on the top of my mouth.  My question is how long until the numbness to clear up?  As it is I can not feel my mouth at all.  Would like to eat something soon.

One small cavity

I have this really small cavity in one of my molars.  The dentist told me about when I went in for my free cleaning. I was wondering since it is small can I get rid of it without going to the dentist?  I really do not like going to the dentist and only went because my insurance at work covers for a free clean and x-rays.  So is there just something I can do to get rid of a cavity myself?

Your dentist uses root canal treatment to find the cause and then treat problems of the tooth’s soft core (the dental pulp). Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps were removed. Today, root canal treatment has given dentists a safe way of saving teeth.

Have not seen a dentist in about three years

I have this one tooth that is really starting to hurt me in the back bottom part of my mouth.  I know it has been some time since I seen the dentist.  I also do not floss as good as I should.  Now I have this jacked up tooth that really hurts.  I think that it may be broken but it is hard to see in the back of your mouth.

Long lasting pain what can I do

I had four filling done just a few days ago  Now the top and bottom of my mouth hurts.  It is painful just opening and closing my mouth.  It has been like this since right after having the filling done.  How much longer should I be having this pain?  What can I do to make it stop.  Please I do not want to feel this bad for New Years since I have a party I will be going to.

Help I have a tooth ache

I went to the dentist about a week ago for just a filling.  It seem to me to take a very long time for him to do the filling and he was just drilling and drilling  away.   When I left it seem okay at the time.  However now that same tooth is hurting me like crazy.  This is very upsetting because it did not hurt before I went to see him.
