Yes, I have dentist phobia.
But I have found a dentist who isn’t an information extraction specialist in their off hours.

I had a dentist breathe heavy while drilling repeatedly into several nerves, all while tellingme “you think that huirts, imagine what it would be like without novocaine.”
(She obviously had a thing for infliciting lots of pain.)

Well, years down the road, I find I need lots of work.
Expensive work.

Yowch.

So I looked over several dentists, and found one who said, “Hey, umm.. that shouldn’t be painful. We’re supposed to do pain management while fixing your teeth.”
He’s darn good at not causing me pain.

My wife, however, seems to react to novocaine.
She had a filling done on Wednesday, and the novocaine caused pain.

Wow! There’s a name for people like that dentist that ‘like to cause pain’. What a horrible experience.

My nightmare started when the dentist said ‘oops!’ as the drill slipped and went all the way through my cheek.
