My dislike of dentists came from a visit to one on Burnley Rd - both front teeth cracked when hit by a cricket bat - he drilled both cracks out and filled them - without an anaesthetic. Took a long time to get over that, not until my '30s when I wanted the RAF dentist to play in the football team, but he cured my phobia, absolutely brilliant chap.
Can't remember having jabs for Polio, all I remember are sugar lumps. Jabs came later, 70 or so airmen lined up and progressed between two lines of medics - about 8 or 10 jabs in total - quite a few drop outs, literally.
