Gator Fan	No not really...it just feels like a tiny pinching sensation. It's not that bad. If your worried about it ask your dentist for some laughing gas so you won't really know what's going on. Hope that helps ya some. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fiercegirl28	Not to me it stings but if you just cry of everything then it migth to you. It will help, because usually they give you 2 of them but the 2nd one you can Barley real because the other one puts your mouth to sleep. It depends on what are you doing to your mouth.

Kitty®	Not gonna lie..yes. BUT..it depends on your threshold of pain.They usually put some numbing agents on your gums before they inject. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mcdane01	Yeah ... they do hurt a bit. It's not really THAT bad - but it's not enjoyable. Just tell your dentist you're nervous, never had a shot in the mouth before, and ask him to talk to you as he's working and letting you know what to expect as he works. You'll do fine! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bonbon	it is pain that only lasts a second, so it doesn't really hurt. if you know you are getting one, the dentist usually says "just a quick pinch" just so you are prepared, but it doesnt hurt. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CheetosRock	It depends, sometimes my dentist is real Gentle and its a pinch then other times it goes to the core. No matter, its quick and you are soon numb and you will feel better once the work is completed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Wendy K	I've never found it particularly enjoyable, but there are things that hurt a lot worse. Most dentists seem to anesthetize the area before an injection, so it doesn't hurt as much. It's mostly just uncomfortable while receiving the shot, but once it's over, it's no big deal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gaetan	Most shots at the dentist don't hurt much if at all. They first numb your gum with a dermic anesthetic (a cream). So, by the time they give you a shot; you really don't feel much of anything. The exception is related to gum grafting surgery. In this case, the oral surgeon has to give you a couple of shots in the ceiling of your palate. Given that there is not much flesh or room up there, you are going to feel these shots somewhat. It feels like a pretty good prick or cut up there. But, it is a very short uncomfortable experience. Thank god for shots... If not modern dentistry would not exist. We would all have rotten teethes, gums, etc... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

telis_gr1	NO. As long as before you get the shot the dentist buts some special fluid (usually with a bit of cotton) which numbs the place where you will get the shot.Then you don't feel a thing! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cherokee Pride	It depends on what part of the gum the needle is injected into. Most of the time a doctor will put numbing gel on before they insert the needle so you dont really feel it though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BAM	sry it does Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kingofnewport	They usually put something on to numb it first, so it's just a little pinch- no big deal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

April	They should numb the area with a Topical Anesthetic first, so you won't feel much if anything. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Autumn J	yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Oracle	Well I will not lie to you. Its not going to feel like say a nice massage, but it is going to hurt alot less then a full blown tooth ache. Rotting teeth cause pain right at the nerve and nothing will sotp it. I had a tooth ache so bad once that it made me sick to my stomech. I crawled into the emergancy room and was begging them to pull the tooth. The needle you feel for a miniute of so then it gose away. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

James P	yes it does hurt if you think it does. pain is all in the mind. but medically speaking, it should'nt be that bad because i think they'll apply some balm to make your gums feel numb. good luck with the dentist and remember... an apple a day keeps the dentist away! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

B40	nah, I've had bee/wasp stings hurt a whole lot worse. first you get a numbing shot, i honestly do not like going to the denist, but the shots are not anything to worry about. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dre	In the right hands, the dentist mirror hurts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
