I'd be embarrassed.

Nothing seems to touch the fear - nitrous, valium, nada.

Had a terrible time with a childhood dentist. Tried to work through it with the last dentist but never went back after I threw up on his dental hygienist during the cleaning.

Sheer terror.

I'm hoping I can win the lottery and just go have sedation dentistry. I have no idea otherwise how I'm going to get it done.
