Do cavities on the front teeth hurt more?

I have small cavities on the back of my front teeth... The dentist says they are small, lower level cavities, more like tiny pits... Does the shot hurt more on the front? I had a fairly large on on the back part of my back teeth... What should I expect here?

I've just had a filling today at the front, my dentist apologised as he was about to inject & explained that 'he knows it's not a nice place to need an injection, & that he will be as gental as possable.'
It wasn't tooooo bad, I only twitched a couple of times with the pain. The actual drilling & filling is painless.
And i react badly to the dentists anasthetic, so if i can survive it, anyone can. ;-)

I'd recomend takeing someone with you to the dentist, in case you have a bad reaction to the injection. (i get the shakes so bad that i can bearly walk properly. so have to be dragged out of the dentists.) :-(

The main thing is not to worry , just get ythem looked after and hopefully you will have no pain.

The gums at the front of the mouth are more sensitive so injections will feel more painful.
You will feel the injection but a good dentist will numb the area before injecting.
It is not so unpleasant that you should worry.

From my experience, yes the shot in the front gums hurts more but remember its only a few seconds of pain and then you are numb. Make sure you get this taken care of. You definitely dont want a front tooth rotting away on you.
