I had my first at 28 and was terrified...I was shaking like crazy and couldn't sleep for days before getting it fixed!! They numbed the area first with anbesol or something like it, gave me the shot to numb it good (which just pinched a little, but wasn't awful), and gave it a few minutes to take, then the cavity fixing itself only took maybe 5 minutes. It didn't hurt at all when they were doing it. All I could feel was like a tickle when the drill touched my tooth, and that was about it. It wasn't that bad. Not like I'd want to have it done again, but it was NOT as bad as I thought it would be!
