Why would the dentist drill and fill a cavity without anesthesia?
That makes sense. But wouldn't it be painful for the patient if the dentist drilled and filled a cavity without anesthesia?
It could be painful, but dentists will typically try to minimize discomfort by using techniques such as air abrasion or laser drilling, which are less invasive and cause minimal pain. Additionally, the dentist may work quickly and use topical numbing agents to minimize discomfort.
