Depends on the dentist. If you have a bad dentist, your experience will be bad and you won't want to go again and your trust in them will be broken. A good dentist will make your visit comfortable and try to reduce your discomfort as much as possible, plus they won't try to just sell you on fillings and give good reasoning why one should be done.

If it made sense, wouldn't the fear just be rational?

Not scared, but hesitant for sure. My upper canines and the teeth next to them are not affected by novocaine, so if anything happens there, I have a bad day ahead of me.
The only thing worse than full feeling when being drilled in the mouth is the bill they give afterwards.

I used to be scared of going to the dentist until I started to really take care of my teeth, and start going to them for regular and routine checkups. Once I did that you get used to them via exposure and realize that most of the time you have nothing wrong with your teeth, and that your dentist as well hopes you have nothing wrong with yourself.

Used to be afraid of going to the dentist, but with all the advances in dental techniques and having found a 'good' dentist not so much anymore. Can't say I'm a fan, but not afraid anymore. Do agree with what various others have said though - often the bill at the end of the visit is the most painful thing these days!

Events since 2020 have proven dentists to be the most trustworthy, across the entire for profit healthcare system. Caveat being that you should probably replace amalgam fillings with composite.
Those of you in so-called Socialized Healthcare systems still operate under a for profit system. You just call the oligopolies by different names. They are all trying to cut costs, because the money is gone.

I've never feared going to the dentist but have never looked forward to it and am always happy when it's over. So painful.

There were times I had one hurt and tried to pull it with a pliers, but it didn't work. Also, digging in decayed part with a knife.

In the US, the dentist is for rich people. Not only because the insurance bullshit, but because of the cost of dental school in order to pay off their loans most go into cosmetic instead of family dentistry because it pays a lot more. In the US you are stuck with your college loans forever - no forgiveness even through bankruptcy.

Heh when they numb me I almost fall asleep. I am weird one in my circles for having no problems with dentist.
