If you consult what the NHS has to say about Dentistry, it states that having teeth extracted needn't be the painful experience it was in the past. It also states that nervous patients (like me) can elaborate further about their anxieties which will be factored into treatment.
Shame dentists don't really seem to take this on-board.
I hate going to the dentists - purely for that reason. They have no sympathies. I remember when I was 7 or 8 I went and we had a new dentist. My sister was only about 4 at the time, and was really upset about getting a tooth taken out. I was trying to comfort her and tell her that I had had them taken out before and it wasn't painful at all - and suddenly the dentist flipped and said 'look, I'm the dentist, I know what I'm talking about, and I WANT TO TALK!!'
Jesus Christ......we never saw him again.
