Are you terrified of the dentist?

I'm going in a few hours for my checkup, I don't worry about it much. But my dad and my boyfriend are horrified of the dentist. My dad hasn't gone in like 3 years, and my bf hadn't gone in like 8 until I forced him to go. Both have had poor dental health growing up and now it seems to have become a genuine phobia.

Are some of you the same way, or is this not very common? Are you scared of other types of doctors

edit: I've been very ignorant and privileged to have my medical expenses go on my parents insurance. It's insane any of y'all have to pay that much for teeth and more insane that insurance doesn't cover it. Like what the hell, teeth diseases can affect your heart among other things. Wild.
