Nervous about Dental Injection
Q: I have to have a cavity filled, but I am very scared of having an injection. Is that my only option?
A: Here at the Medical Center Dental Group, you can decide whether or not you would want an injection. Sometimes people just get anxious about having an injection, so we leave up to the patient to make that decision. Keep in mind that the purpose of such an injection is to numb the mouth to prevent or minimize any further pain that you may have during your dental procedure. Most people are more comfortable having an injection because they don't want to feel anything. Perhaps you have a high pain tolerance, so there would be no need to have an injection. We just want you to be comfortable in the dental chair. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to call us.
