Anyone else hate going to the dentist as much as me?

This is more of a light humor post but if you've had a serious issue and wish to vent feel free.

I'm a wooss when it comes to the dentist.  They tell you this won't hurt a bit and you get a sharp pain.  Would be nice if numbing gas was given even for basic check ups lol!  Man I was freaking at the thought of getting my tooth pulled.  When my dentist explained that my tooths holders were extremely deep and entwined with the other tooths holders I thought please don't tell me they want to extract.  Fortunately for all my stressing my dentist saw how worked up I was and made a built up patch over the saw spot so my tooth didn't touch.  I was getting my blood tests done at the medical clinic, and admitted to the nurse I look forward to blood tests more than going to the dentist lol.  And that's saying something because for a while I was worked up over blood tests due to a bad experience but the nurses at the medical clininc know what they're doing so I've relaxed my thinking over blood tests.
