Tip: you'll only fall for that once. Tip: the “No need to anaesthetise for this tooth I’m about to remove because it’s dead, so you won’t feel it” is also utter utter bollocks.

Surely, if she really believed it would be painless, she would have just asked "Is it hurting?"

My previous dentist here in the land of moose and permafrost did all of the relaxation stuff , Tvs in the surgery , nice assistants , mild gas if required soothing music etc. Kind of undone when the Dentist starts to go nuts about the politician on the news and seems to be affected by a hand tremmor that would be best suited to mixing paint when he is giving you an injection (Im not kidding about this either). Oddly enough I now go elsewhere. Im surprised you couldnt talk with the cotton wool, latex glove and medical instruments though. Isnt it quite similar to the ball gag and gimp mask?

If you get a dentist you trust your fears melt away. I had a brute when I was a young child, who left me with a fear that took 13 years to subside, during which time I never went to the dentist once, preferring to brush twice a day and hope. Than, upon moving to a new town I was recommended to my current dentist. He immediately went about assuaging all my fears so successfully that when I went a couple of years ago, and had to get an old filling re-done, like you I was able to do it without anaesthetic/numbing, but in my case with no pain, no fear and only mild discomfort. Now my concern and fear is focussed on his hygienist, whose scraping and poking with small metal pointers hurts way more than anything my dentist has managed to do with whacking great big drills and clamps. When a dentist can take a power tool to your mouth with no pain, yet his young, attractive hygienist can make you 'just rinse' what appears to be a pint of blood, something is seriously askew with your sense of who to fear within those tiled torture chambers.

My old dentist was a very cute Indian lady who was not only very easy on the eye but had a gossamer touch. Two years ago she left and was replaced by the current character who's also Indian but that's where the resemblance ends. I get the impression that he was pressured to be a dentist by his family but still harbors a childhood dream of being a navvy. is your dentist a six foot two Amazon then?
