Are you scared of the dentist? I got used to it a lot as a kid.
I am actually scared of them a bit.  My early experiences with them were not pleasant.
Oh I am sorry. Did you have a bad experience with the dentist themselves or their aid?
The dentist themselves.  It was in another country though (Russia) and quite a few years back. 
Oh that is crazy. Be thankful it wasn't China or France, the first people there to practice dentistry were barbers.
