Front teeth fillings

[Imapparentlyhere]

Hello, does anyone mind me asking if it is 1 injection or 2 to numb both front teeth? Also is this done infront of the teeth or behind them? as I have tried to research and I'm not really finding much information. Thank you

@Imapparentlyhere don't worry about it honestly, it's just a tiny little nip and it only lasts a second

@Kml1998 Thank you so much, good to know that as it'll be my first treatment and I've heard people saying it hurts a lot

It doesn't have to hurt - it's all about the speed and technique that the dentist uses. It may be a good idea to discuss this with your dentist beforehand and let them know you're worried. In this way they can make sure to work extra gently.

@Enarete Thank you so much, I'll definitely email beforehand
