How long does it take to fill 2 cavities?
I have a dentist appointment next week to get some cavities filled. My dentist said I have two small ones. I'm a bit nervous, so I'm wondering, how long does it typically take to fill two cavities?

Honestly, I was super scared about this last month. The doctor finished both in about forty minutes, but my heart was racing the whole time. Did anyone else feel that weird pressure during the filling, or is it just me?
I kept researching this for days before my appointment thinking it would take hours. Actually, it is quite fast, barely 30 to 45 minutes for two basic fillings. Just breathe and don't read too many scary things online, you will be totally fine.
I completely understand the stress, as dental anxiety is very real and used to make me cry before appointments. It usually takes less than an hour for two cavities, but please tell your dentist if you feel overwhelmed. They can go slow and give you breaks.
I got two fillings done during my lunch break last week. The actual procedure took around 30 minutes, plus another 15 for the initial setup. You can easily plan your day around a 1-hour clinic slot.

It takes around 45 minutes in total, nothing major. Just ask your dentist for local anaesthesia so you don't feel any pain during the drilling. Also, avoid eating anything very hot or cold for a few hours after getting home.
