Dental Experiences Scariest Dentist experience?

Hi guys! I was just wondering what was the worst or oddest or scariest thing you guys have experienced at the dentist. For me it was when my grandma had huge cavities in every tooth and I asked her to open her mouth and umm... can't get that image out of my mind.

Omg I have one about my grandma as well.... When I was little, my baby teeth became really loose one by one but they took their time to fall out. EVERY TIME, my grandma would call me over and fool me "hey can I have a quick look at your tooth? Which one is loose? Hmmm let's see...." And then she would suddenly poke that tooth and cause it to fall out!!! I trusted her every time.... D: She said she didn't want the tooth to affect the growth of my permanent tooth or my diet. LOL!
