I am going in for some fillings later today, Do I need an injection?

[TheHYDN]

Hey,

I am wondering if I need an injection at all. I can't remember fully what my dentist was going to do but I do believe he is filling in a part on my two front teeth.
The current situation does not hurt at all, and I am not a fan of needles at all especially when they are in my mouth.

Sorry for the bad quality, but here is what it looks like.

I am wondering if I need an injection at all, some sites say yes and others say no.

Thanks

Injection is for painkiller. I don't blame you for fearing needles. Ask if he can do a topical painkiller instead.
It may be too painful for you to bear the drilling without a painkiller. I tried avoiding once as he drilled but it got to be too painful... He drilled deep...
