My dentist is a young guy that took over the practice of my old dentist. both were great and want to make sure there is no pain during or after. If you are like that then your patients will be happy to see you. Now the guy I went to as a kid made me afraid. I remember one time I flinched and he grunted the words Whats the matter that dont hurt and quit being a sissy. I hated that guy and you could hear other kids scream sometimes. He also played Neil Diamond all the time on the speakers.
