Think it stems back to the early dental care I had in NZ. Dental nurses who drilled and filled anything which looked vaguely like a cavity using slow-speed drills with no anaesthetic. Even worse was waiting your turn, hearing the sound of drills and knowing what it's going to feel like..
For us your turn was decided on where your last name was in the alphabet. I was towards the end, so I would have two to three days of sitting in class anxiously waiting waiting for my turn. It was fucking horrible.
And the no anesthetic thing. How cruel was that! I never gave it much thought as to why we didn't get anesthetic. I sort of put it down to it not being safe to give to kids, but later in life an old dental nurse told me it was a cost cutting thing. I guess @canefan may be able to tell us the real reason.
I was so traumatized by my early experiences at the dentist that from the time I no longer had to go to the school dental nurse (about 13 years old) until about the age of 32, I never went. Then one day the pain became so bad I had no choice. I think I needed 9 fillings.
You will all be pleased and relieved to know that I am completely relaxed at the dentist now, especially once I worked out the dentist wasn't actually spilling warm liquid over my bottom lip each time he was giving me an injection. I even fell asleep during a root canal once.

It was fucking sadistic. I used to have nightmares when I got my white appointment card.

Ditto. Needed 7 crowns. Irish dentist was wonderful.

I once fainted during a root canal treatment. Irish dentist was mortified.

I have shit teeth, maybe 2 or 3 without work, 2 extractions. Only positive is they are pretty straight and no one apart from me can see the issues.
I hate going to the dentist,as much embarrassment as the cost.
When my last dentist retired I didn't go for over a year even when something was wrong.
Ended up spending near 2.5k fixing issues, I did go back last time an issue presented itself which ended up about $800, but still ambulance at bottom of cliff stuff.
Always conscious of what I eat to minimise risk of breaking a tooth or pulling a filling.
So far seems kids have better teeth than me,aside from a titanium implant following an absess Mrs TR has great teeth.

@taniwharugby you can only hope the kids don't take after you! (apart from the straight teeth 😬).

@Victor-Meldrew I've never had a filling....mind you I had to have something like 6 or so teeth removed eventually as they never fell out and needed to make way for the others coming through...which ended up forming a nice neat two rows. I was this close to having to wear one of those whole head braces things.
Same, but also same, my entire mouth was crooked as fuck, and I cried as a kid when they took me in to get braces as I already had huge bottle top glasses. So my parents relented, which I wish they hadn't now obviously, and I eventually had to get braces as an adult. No teeth out though.

@canefan my mother was told my teeth were brittle due to some antibiotics I had while teething.
Who knows whether it was that or that dental nurses seemed to give fillings for the sake of it back then
Antibiotics sometimes don't help, sometimes just make them look discoloured but otherwise fine. Dentists are certainly more conservative in general so a drill less philosophy is prevalent now. And genetics are huge

Ooooh yeah that does remind me of my first visit to get an extraction, I nearly fainted when I went to get up so she tried different anaesthetic the next time....which after numerous injections wasn't working and she basically got the tooth halfway out without any anaesthetic effect at all.
