Question
I have 6 cavities located all around my mouth..some on top left some on bottom right etc..

So while at my dentist I was like "Well cant you just knock me out and fill them all at the same time" and the assitant was like "we cant do that sweety"

Is this true for all dentist or does it depend who they are..

Cause I like most people would just like to one shot everything..

So can dentist knock you out on nitrous and just fill all of the cavities in one apointment?

If so Ima find another dentist.

Answer
It would be most prudent to do the six teeth in two seperate visits. Could it be done in one ..Yes but it wouldn't be desirable.As far as nitrous goes, you would still need a shot, that is, a local anesthetic in the area to do the restorative. To get PUT OUT ,with sedation for a simple restorative procedure is not advisable .
Good Luck,
