My Dentist used a high pressure sand blasting thingy instead of a drill - no pain at all , and no need for anesthetics.
Interestingly, I concur with you on the pain thing - I have had dental work done without the help of drugs, and the pain isnt that bad. You just have to tell yourself that it isnt real, but merely a signal in your brain.
Another bit of trivia. Seems I am very resistant to anesthetics. When I had my tonsils out, the anesthetist did the usual - inject, get the sap to count to 10, proceed when they drop off somewhere about 4. Except I didnt. At 20 I asked if I should keep going. Err, no. Lets just give you a little bit more. 20 came round again, and Im still clearly in this world. Another little injection, and oblivion descended. Afterwards the nurse said the anesthetis had said he had never had to use 3 doses before.
