   It is not “normal” …
   It is not “normal” to experience pain at the injection site or within the filling as stated in this presentation. Also, composites are inferior to amalgam or silver fillings relative to durability and fit after a short to intermediate period.
   A fair representation of the “process” but this needs correction to be congruent with honesty.

   oh one last thing, …
   oh one last thing, composites are commonly found ready to go with the consistance of a stiff putty, no mixing nessisary for light cured. there are chemically cured composites where you mix and they set in a minute or so after mixing but i find these not so good to use compared to the bennefits of light cured, light cure can be placed to satisfaction and you decide when to set, you dont have that with chemical cured, so 99% of jobs are now done with light cured composites

   you wrote 4 months …
   you wrote 4 months ago but if your interested, composites are applied in layers to the point that the setting light only penetrates a defined thickness so for bigger fillings its better to put it in in stages to assure full thickness setting. for smaller fillings its fine to do in one step. the “nerve protecting” layer that you mention is called a liner and is used in filling where the base is close to the pulp chamber, this isnt really the same as the composite but can be light set.

   so I thought …
   so I thought composite filling were applyed in layers, the layer to protect the nerve then blue light then another layer of plastic, blue light then another layer ect, in the video it showed them squirting in the fiing material all at once like tooth past then hardening it. and I though it was hand mixed, not premixed in a crome “composite” syringe…is this realistic?

   Yes yes EVERYBODY …
   Yes yes EVERYBODY BRUSH THEIR TEETH. lol. I think dentists should use shock tactics like showing pictures of decaying teeth etc. I was only ever told germs would start eating away at my teeth, but had I seen the real thing I might have thought twice before eating all that crap and not brushing before going to bed.

   Same here… I just …
   Same here… I just let it go but now I’m half way through my treatment. If you have cavities and you’re reading this, GO GET TREATED! The odontology it’s way advanced and there’s no reason to avoid treatment. It may hurt a bit at first (the initial shot) but c’mon… Women have children and it’s worse GET YOUR TEETH FIXED, BRUSH AFTER EVERY MEAL AND ESPECIALY, DO NOT SKIP BRUSHING BEFORE GOING TO BED (while asleep, you produce less saliva and the cavities increase)
