Drug-free dentistry.
My dentist back in the day was Chinese, and he offered me the choice of having a filling with, or without anaesthetic. He told me that he'd be careful and I wouldn't feel a thing if I chose the anaesthetic-free route.

I hate the feeling of my face being numb and dribbling without knowing it, so I opted for the second one. It hurt alright, not as much as I expected but there was still definate pain and was one of the most frightening experiences of my life, feeling that drill grinding away at my tooth, jarring my jaw and the picky thing scraping away at the inside millimeters away from the nerve. The vibrations of the drill made my mouth go numb anyway.

Absolutely horrible and not to be repeated.
