Dental Phobia

When I was a child, my mom would bring me to the dentist with my brother to have our teeth cleaned, or worst, pulled. One time, I had my tooth pulled and while waiting for my turn I perspired and trembled. My turn came, the dentist injected my gums with anesthesia, I screamed. Later I saw the dentist his tooth pulling materials and began screwing my teeth, pulled it and I cried so loud in pain. Blood spurted out of my mouth-even until for days. Since then I developed dental phobia, it took me years and years before I went to the dentist again--when I was forty and old.

The last time I went to the dentist was when I had a bad toothache which was a very, very long time ago. It's just too painful to go unless I absolutely have no choice.
