DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

AyeKersal McMissive, my hat is off to you.
I've had various dental dramas. I wear partial dentures as a result. Fortunately my dentist is the most highly regarded in my city/State, and happens to be the father of a very good friend of mine, so the cost has been minimal. I dive a bit and for years I have given him (the dad) part of my seafood spoils, so what goes around...
As for pain, in my experience its been more discomfort than anything. And my brain running wild. Adrenalin has kicked in a few times after a needle and I have felt fine but have had the shakes something fierce. With a good dentist, I think its more a mental issue than anything else.
