Dental
- The area around the affected tooth will be numbed up, usually with the use or a topical anesthetic and/or a shot in the gums or inside of the cheek. A thin needle is used for the shot, and it contains a numbing agent such as lidocaine. The needle may be inserted in several different areas around the tooth, but the process only takes about one minute and is relatively painless.
- The dentist will wait several minutes until the area is numb.
- A drill or laser will be used to remove the damaged areas of the tooth.
- A gel will be used to clean the area afterward.
- The filling material will be applied to fill the tooth.
- Adhesives and composite material will be placed on top of the tooth to protect and seal it.
- A bonding light may be used for several seconds to harden the material.
- The dentist will smooth out any rough edges and polish the tooth
