I absolutely hate the dentist, because I hate feeling anything scrape against my teeth and gums, but I do have to say i'd choose going to the dentist over going to the hospital, even for something minor. (I'm sure everyone agrees with that, though). But I had never had to stay in the hospital until last summer, and christ it sucks. Also, what even frightens me more is seeing blood. Not a drop or two, I can handle that, but blood pouring out of someones body is enough to make me faint. I can handle it in movies because I know it's fake, but if I see it right before my eyes my body goes weak and I have to sit down and take deep breaths until I recover.
My sister cut her thumb today and blood starting pouring out and it was on the floor of the kitchen and on the counter and all over her jeans, I thought I was going to vomit.

Well you've probably been disciplined enough to brush and floss on a consistent basis. Either that or you have some strong fucking ass teeth.
