I'm not scared of the dentist at all. It's his assistant that gets me, with all the digging, and scraping, and mass poking of the gums with her sharp instruments. What a bitch.
One time when I had to get a filling I was sitting in the chair, listening to the drill, wondering why it bothered so many people when all of a sudden I felt this jolt of intense pain course through the nerves of one of my teeth. It turns out that I have a high tolerance for the anesthetic they were using and it wasn't enough for me. I thought it was because my mouth felt pretty numb, but I was obviously mistaken. After giving me two more shots he was finally able to continue on without hurting me... much. It wasn't enough really because I still had quite a bit of feeling, but he said he was afraid to give me any more. So, after that I've been a little afraid of getting fillings. But, to counteract that I just brush better!
Other than that I have no problems with sitting in the chair going
for the half hour or so it usually takes. Besides, it's well worth the
that you get afterwards. Smiley faces are ridiculously useful, in a very useless way.
