I’ve got an old memory of my baby canines being extracted just with local anesthesia and the tugging and drilling was terror for me.
I can’t imagine cavity fillings WITHOUT anesthesia. You’re a tough customer.
When I was around 8 or so, I was more afraid of the needle than the drill. It does hurt, but all pain is something you can get through. If you're numbing though, it shouldn't hurt. Also you may fell numb for over 6 hours afterwards. If they do it right you shouldn't feel pain after it goes away either.
Funnily enough the needle in the mouth isn’t so bad for me if I’m swabbed with a bit of lidocaine first.
