I have only had one small surface cavity for the first time two years ago and they didn't give me any shots or anything. I'm not sure if it was laser or what it was, but it only made a beep noise and I was finished. So I have no idea what they did, but there definitely wasn't any pain or shots to fill my cavity.
Re: anyone ever have a toddler with a cavity?
i've never had a laser filling! i just can't imagine her sitting still to be shot up with novocane.
