I typically go every 6 months. Only had 1-2 cavities filled in the past.

When the pain hits the nerve, It's unbearable and no matter how tough you are, It'll beat you to your knees.

I've also experienced a severe toothache, and It's something I'd never want to go through again.

Oh yeah when the needle from the Novocaine injection hits your nerve that feels some good

Hate the feeling of dental painkillers, since the effect is centralized. Doesn't even block the pain fully.

My worst fear, Is In fact the dentist.

When they fill a tooth, my fists are tightly clenched In anticipation of pain and as you've said, you can still feel It to some extent.
