V - I had to go for 2 fillings this week, and like you, stressed over it. I HATE the dentist (even though mine is very good and I have been going to him for 10 years). I had to have one top and one bottom filling, both in the back - a problem for someone with a bad gag reflex.

I got the topical first, and then the top shot, which was fine. With the bottom shot though, I thought I was going to DIE! It really hurt, but did numb me instantly. thirty minutes later, I was out the door, but numb for 2.5 hours afterwards!

I went for a ride, but couldn't eat or drink anything with half my mouth not working... I kept it short.

Good for another 100K miles now, or at least until my next cleaning.
