Unfortunately the large filling in my first molar has chipped on 2 of the corners. I have been to see my dentist and she has taken an x ray and she thinks the pin which my previous dentist put in when he filled the tooth may of come loose.

I can cope with having a filling but being numbed is freaking me out. In the past she has done fillings without numbing me.

Is it okay to explain my fear to my dentist and ask if she can start the filling without numbing me and if the pain becomes too much I can ask to be numbed?
