I had a pretty bad time at the dentist when I was a child.
Our dentist that was recommended to my parents was awful. So awful in fact that almost all of our cavities had to be redone in half the time they normally would.
He would skip the numbing sometimes because "my cavities were small enough it wouldn't hurt". My ass it didn't hurt.

Anyways, I have a new dentist. He is actually my mothers cousin. Really nice guy, really cares about every patient (even if it is a false sense of caring). Always tries to take care of you the best he can.

Funny story (not really). I haven't been able to use gas since I was like 7. They gave me the wrong dosage? They gave me what would normally be used on adults. I ended up vomiting on my dentist twice. Never been able to use it since that day. It just makes me sick.
