If you covered your body in leeches you won't even feel it. I remember in my biology book that leeches are so effective because they release their own natural local anesthesia.

Spiders are not that gross, same with ants, and grass hoppers. (survival training)

I'll tap dance on the coals, as long as I can wear my tap-dancing shoes and nothing else.

Wow! 35% of future dentists are would rather do all those crazy things over getting a root canal. That should almost be a piece of trivia.

Becoming a dentist does not have to requirement of enjoying dental procedure perform on one self. I have had a root canal done, and it sucked. Two hours of opening wide with somewhat ineffective numbing left me with a sore jaw and plenty of painful memories. Hopefully, I will be capable of giving patients a better experience in the future.
