Hi if you have seen a dentist and they have told you that they are only very small fillings then you may not even need an injection.
If you do need an injection the dentist can inject you and you shouldn't feel it at all. If they do it really slowly you won't even feel it, you could ask the dentist to use gel that they rub on your gums before injecting as well. This gel called topical numbs the gums before they use the needle.
If you know that they are small fillings they will be fine until January as long as you are not in pain. Keep your mouth clean and take greater care on these teeth.
, went for the six monthly check up today, and he did say “they where small but they were in the easiest part of the mouth” I think it’s my molars, anyway I didn’t even know I had them until the check up so I’ll bear that in mind and I use corsodyl ultra clean toothpaste and mouthwash every day
I would think that you will be fine then until the new year but don't leave it too long into the New year because they are the smallest of jobs at the minute so very easy for both you and the dentist, if left for months they may become bigger and start causing problems.
If they are so small chances are your dentist can do them with out an injection. Have a word with them and explain how you feel and see what they say, don't let this worry you over the holidays.
Stay safe and have fun Merry Christmas
