Q. Hello, I have been to the dentist today to have a filling and my dentist gave me 1 needle and started drilling straight away, while he was doing this the pain was unbearable he then gave me 2 more needles and tryed again the pain was still agony and he said i waas lying even though i was shaking and crying. i am not terrified of going again but i have to go 4 more times for 4 more fillings. i was wondering could i be put under general anastetic so they could do everything that needed doing in one go as i dont think i could possible go back and be awake for another filling im just to scared!! please help me!!
