Out of about 10 shots... I really on felt one.. like comfort dentist said I would describe mild to moderate burning or slight pinch.. thankfully my dentist is amazing with the shots and takes his time. I think it was the location of the shot that made the difference that time maybe too.
It depends on the technique and the anesthetic choice. Either it will burn a little to moderate amount or you will feel almost nothing to nothing.
Does every injection hurt?
Luke - dental injections absolutely do not have to hurt at all. It all depends on the dentist's technique. It is possible to do painless injections just using slow delivery of the LA even without numbing gel.

it definately does Luke, in my experience most of the time, I dont even feel the pinch after the numbing gel, makes a huge difference. !!
