Since about 12 yo, I have never been numbed for any procedure. I have had four root canals, probably a dozen or more cavities filled, etc. Some drilled down about 80% to the gumline, so lots of meaty nerves being tapped.
Honestly, if you've ever had cold sensitivity when taking a drink, that's about as bad as it gets. Just mind over matter.
Don't feel bad for me, I don't. I brush and floss and rinse as well as anyone. My wife, on the other hand, hardly takes care of her teeth the never has a cavity, gum disease, or tartar. So, that pretty much shows me that it's not about brushing. I spent over 30 seconds in each crack today flossing. Will it matter? no.
I'd rather go to the dentist than get my haircut. So, I'm fine with it. In fact, the fake teeth I have from having fun/living life and breaking my teeth out I would not trade. It taught me not to fear pain or physical harm for one thing. The ceramic and silver crowns are better than real. They do not dull, and they are very sharp, good incisors. I wish all my teeth could be of that material.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.

I feel bad for what you have gone through at the dentist....
But you may want to try brushing your teeth.
