i usually do, they have to drill the tooth first to get the cavity out, and one time they didnt use novicane because the dentist said it was a small cavity, and it hurt like hell!

I was a dental assistant before becoming a SAHM. Every dentist i ever worked for always got the patient numb before doing the filling unless the filling was very small and easy to access and then they would just rub some numbing gel around it and it would be fine but 9 times out of 10 pateint got the novocaine.
