Scary dentist people

Is anyone else scared of the dentist? I am. Don't really know why. No particularly bad experiences. I think I just decided to be as a teenager. So because of this 'fear' when part of my tooth broke off on Boxing Day I decided to ignore it. It didn't hurt so I left it. Oh deary me. Well now I wish I'd had it seen to then. I'm currently sat with a fat, painful face. Great stuff. The tooth in question shall be removed on Tuesday. More great stuff. I think as I'm now 30 & a 'proper' grown up I need to get rid of my stupid fear. Do you think I'll get a sticker on Tuesday if I'm good?
