I'm on that list as well, the "I hate dentists". Everytime I hear a drill I cringe. I had my wisdom teeth taken out, 3 at one time. I hear the cracking, yanking, and the freezing wasn't always working on my mouth either. I would be like, "tha hus, I an no froen anymo" "tha hus, I an no froen anymo" (while he had his hand in my mouth ), he said what? I can't make out what your saying, just sit there, calm down and this will go alot faster. I clamped down on his hand and said THAT HURTS, I AM NOT FROZEN ANYMORE! He got the idea pretty quick, after that every few minutes he would ask if this hurt or if that hurt, I would let him know when I started feeling the pain of it.
