I... think I would rather be knocked out, than just have a local. This sorta stuff scares the everliving bujeebus out of me. I don't want them to poke me with needles until only one part of my face can't feel anything. i wanna not be able to see what's going on or hear it. (I mean, I guess there's always blindfolds and earplugs, but....)

Our family dentist is a god guy, and a good dentist too apparently. He also happens to be the father of a girl I went to hebrew school with for a few years and goes to the same temple as my parents. So there is that.
