Does your dentist "cater to cowards?"?

We were very poor growing up, and with 7 kids, my parents couldn't afford regular check ups. So I had to have 8 fillings when I was 12. The dentist was barbaric, and drilled all at one time with no novocaine. I left their sobbing and traumatized. I swear I would never go back! And I didn't until I had to at age 24. Still scary has heck. Now, 30 years later, I go every six motnhs, and my dentist knows my history. He gives me nitrous oxide before he starts anything. Yes, I'm still a baby about the dentist drill. We have a "Gentle Dentist" in town who has nitrous and also gives oral sedation for just fillings. Is this a growing trend? Are there others like me who just can't get over their fear?

my husband grew up in england, and when he broke his face, neck and back playing rugby for the national team, they used his teeth to tie him back together...no pain meds...he has to be given a drug the night before and two more in there...and I have to have an ambulance to a lift assist to get him back in the house (he is 6'5" and last time, with no help, he dropped on his head). now that he has gone afew times, drugged, he can do it with less and less...thank God, because the only person who had nightmares about his going to the dentist was me!
