BatmanMan - it's as if I wrote this post myself!
I'm terrified of dentists, since I, too, am a pussy. I thought I cracked my tooth when I moved to the NE - but put off doing anything about it for about 18 months. Finally, I decided to get it checked. The asshole dentist walked in for all of 15 seconds and said "well, let's schedule a root canal". I did - and never went. Another year later, I tried a different place. This dentist spent a lot more time checking things out and said "you might need a root canal, but we won't know until we're in there."
Ultimately, I didn't need one - but it's a deep ass filling. And he has cautioned me that if the tooth starts to hurt, I *will* need one. I took the day off all the same.
Jeebus, I'm shuddering here.
