Cosmetic Fillings

Gavin "shels" · 2018-06-26 21:03:59

I went to an Orthodontist and unfortunately can't just get braces (would need surgery too). I was told I could get a cosmetic filling to fill the gap between my central incisors - my question is, is it normal procedure to get an injection to numb the area first before a cosmetic filling?

Cheers - suppose I'd want to rapidly get over my fear of needles... even after nearly 30 blood donations!!
