Are you afraid of the dentist?

I'm good with pretty much anything after years of braces and whatnot but the one thing I absolutely cannot stand is that freakin' hook they use to scrape your teeth. I don't know if it's just the look of the thing or the scraping noise it makes, but it really bothers me. I think I'll ask for the gas next time!
 
I don't have a problem with the dentist. He makes my tooth pain go away. I've never felt really bad pain at the dentist, even when he gave me an injection directly into an open infected root.
 
I'm afraid of anyone with a Needle!

Until a tooth has me pounding on things(table or knee usually) to deal with the pain.
 
My current dentist of the past 9 years - nope.
However, when I lived in the San Jose bay area - I avoided them like the black plague.
 
I've started having 6-monthly check ups with the dentist. Its easy and not that bad (plus the dentist's assistant is hot).
 
Afraid? No
Dislike the feeling when they are fucking around in my mouth? Yes, I find it extremely uncomfortable.
 
I really like my dentist. He does a great job, and is very conscious of pain and discomfort. But when that chair starts reclining my heart starts racing.
 
I don't know I am towards the dentist. I wouldn't call it fear, but I really don't like going to the dentist. I had a few really bad experiences at the dentist as a kid, so I'm definetely not a fan.
 
I tend to get boobs and upper thighs rubbed on me by the cute ass dental hygienist chicks. Love going to my cleanings...
