re: OT Dentists - Over-diagnosing cavities

My GF actually went to her dentist today for 3 fillings. These were her first cavities ever in her life. She's 27 yrs old. This is a dentist she's been seeing for about a year.
She comes home and says they did all 3 fillings without anaesthetic b/c they were all shallow and just in the enamel.
Did she even need fillings if they were so shallow that no numbing agent was even needed? I don't want to tell her she was scammed, b/c maybe the fillings were needed as a preventative measure to keep these cavities from growing. When it comes to dentists I'm becoming paranoid though.
