I have to get a cavity filled between my front 2 teeth and a couple teeth next to it need composite fillings on the surface of teeth from where I had braces years ago. I am not scared of the needles but I am afraid of the numb feeling. Where exactly will I feel numbness? Do I need local anesthesia for this? Please help! Thanks!
 
You'll feel numb from about 2cm each side of the middle of your top lip up to about the middle of your nose. It'll last about 2 hrs.
I can't answer whether you need local or not, however, statistically, fillings done without local don't last as long as ones done with local...
