"The drilling's OK. It's the shots I hate. I really think dentists
would stay a lot busier if they could figure out a painless way to
give the damn shots."

SNERK!
Those little needles in the gums scare you?
My dentist will rub my gums with some kind of local freezing before inserting the needles on occasion.
I've never asked for it and have told her I don't like the taste of that stuff. I'll take my needles straight up.
