Dan, the host has a fear of dentists because of things that he heard a brother say as a child. If he goes to a dentist, he has to avoid caffeine because it agitates his fears and makes him nervous.
He's terrified of the drill and has had a few bad experiences with some dentists. He has to concentrate very hard and force himself to relax. He also doesn't like being told to lay down prior to an extraction for fear of chocking on pieces of teeth. Dan wants AlwaysChanging2 to know that he has had many teeth pulled as well and has a broken-off bottom molar that has sharp edges that irritate his tongue when chewing.
