Dentists are the most evil people on earth. Options

I have had this killer toothache for about a month, and I finally went to see a dentist. He's a new dentist for me, but everyone says he's the best in our area.

This guy was such an a-hole. My teeth hurt so bad I can hardly even sleep or eat, it's f**king ridiculous. He gave me 4 x rays (I totally thought the limit for a year was 3) to tell me I need three of my wisdom teeth cut out and that I have a deviated septum that also needs to have surgery to be repaired.
He then proceeded to tell me that "you are a nice looking girl but you'd be gorgeous if you just had straighter teeth.". f**k THAT! That's not professional at all. All that did was hurt my feelings on top of the anxiety of having to have surgery. Anesthetics are one of my biggest fears in life, you have no idea how scared they make me. I cried when he told me what I would have to do. I'm am absolutely petrified to get this done, and I only have a month to do it before my insurance lapses. To top it off he saw how much pain I was in and he said it surprised him that I waited so long to come in with such a painful condition, but then didn't give me any pain pills because I have tattoos and "if you can handle a tattoo that big on your chest you can handle tooth pain". And, I'm no dentist but I am pretty sure a loose filling is actually the cause to all my toothaches.

Has anyone else ever had any teeth cut out. No horror stories, please, I'm panicked enough as it is.

I've always been really scared of dentists' since I was little and they shot me with novacaine to do something but it didn't work and I felt EVERYTHING. I tried to tell him, but he said there was no way. So, I bit the f**k out of him. :)

I know I need to get it done, and I am going to get it done. But I just want someone that has been through it tell me something other than "it hurts SO bad afterwards". I know because I have tattoos they will be less apt to give me pain medication, and if they do it will be something in such a small milligram it won't help me. The guy said he'd give me a drip before he saw me. Lots of doctors are predjudice against people with tattoos. They assume we can't feel pain, i guess. I compare it to not selling a black person sunscreen.
