I'm 54.9 years old and I still tense up when they clean my teeth. Comes from having a zillion fillings as a kid. Me dad had dentures by the time he was 30 and one dentist told me if it wasn't for fluoride in the water I'd have been just like him.
I have a lot of fillings and I look forward to the dentist -- I had lousy teeth and no money for years. I used to have to eat a little bread before anything else to fill up the cavities, or it hurt like the very dickens. To this day, I can't make myself drink really cold drinks -- the memory of pain is too much.
I like the dentist. Had to cancel this one, though. Stuff blew up at work.

Oh gads, I hate going to the dentist. My dentist is a good dentist and I like him as a person, I just hate going to the dentist.
I have three crowns, one done on an emergency basis after breaking a tooth in two, so I think I have good reason for not liking to go to the dentist.
