Going to the dentist really unnerves me!

Storyline: Jake has a terrible toothache, but he refuses to see a dentist because he had an unnerving experience before.
Jake: Ouch!  This tooth is really bugging me.
Anna: Maybe you have a cavity.  Have you seen the dentist?
Jake: No, I haven't.  Going to the dentist really unnerves me.   I try to avoid it like the plague.
Anna: Come on.  Don't be a chicken!  It can't be that bad!
Jake: I'm not a chicken!  But I'll do anything to keep myself from getting in the dentist's chair.
Anna: Even deal with a tooth that's killing you?
Jake: You bet!
