...and tell me everything's gonna be alright...
Today is cavity day at my dentist. I've never had one before until now (it's actually more than one), so this is my first drilling...Who wants to step up and tell me how blissful of an experience is was for them?
I'll be balled up in the corner anxiously waiting your response...

I had 4 teeth pulled at once. Your little cavity battle is nothing but a chance to get a new toothbrush and some of those red pill thingies. Wuss.

Call me a wuss after the cavity thing when I'm all whiny and stuff. Not now, mean kid.

It's not so bad.
Remember this, if they ask whether you want gas or a shot...
Take the gas...
That stuff is awesome!!!

I've had 2 (I made it 22 years) but they were tiny tiny. I didn't even get numbed and even then the worst part of it was holding my mouth open for that long. You'll be fine.

I can honestly say all the times I've had a cavity filled it hasn't hurt one bit.
Ok, that's because I've never had a cavity so I have no idea what it's like, sorry.
Good luck! Here's to a pain free day!!!

Wow, we have some great teeth here, folks! I forgot to mention that I have never had a cavity either. The four teeth were babies and had to come out. Sorry, Joel. Tough luck.

come on, you're gonna make it. I've had em drilled, I even have a few crowns. my son just had 8 teeth extracted and he's still smiling! Daughter is living with an expander in the roof of her mouth.
Really it is pretty simple, you shouldn't be worried.

I'm not that worried at all. I actually like the pain, kindof. I just want it to be over with it...and I've never had a shot in my mouth before...that sounds just a tad painful, yes?
