On a personal level, I find blood tests extremely painful!. But I also suffer from Hematophobia, or the fear of blood!. This causes my muscles to tense and even spasm under stress!. When a muscle is tensed the needle has a harder time breaking the skin and vein making the process longer and sometimes more painful!. That is why most doctors tell their patients to relax before a shot!. However, many people who have had their blood drawn say it is relatively painless and the tender feeling on the arm after the shot is what hurts most!.
On the other hand, the fear of dentist or dentistry, simply listed as Dental phobia, can recreate similar effects!. The theory of "construct theory" states that humans have the tendency to place certain feelings or attributes on a group of people or practices all having something in common based on the individual's own experience!. In the case of dentists, many dental practices provide pain!. This causes the individual to cringe and relent from being probed by the dentist's instruments sometimes ending in painful slips!. However, dental needles are relatively painless, almost like a tooth pick carefully poking at your gums!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The poke of either is about the same!. Needles are very sharp now and the size of the needle is quite small!. However, it is not the poke that bothers most people at the dentist!. What bothers them is when we start to push in the anaesthetic liquid!. About 1!.8ml of a room temperature liquid into your tissue, and you will feel that!.
With a blood test, all that generally happens is some blood is pulled out!. That usually doesn't cause to much trouble!.
By the way, some dentists use a machine called The Wand to deliver anaesthetic!. It is computer controlled delivery of a warmed anaesthetic!. Patients definitely feel this much much less!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As an EMT I have had to do training in IV's and blood draws when I first started my training I would start an IV on a classmate and in turn he/she would get to do it back, so i have had alot of blood draws and Iv's done on me!. I would have to say the dentist is more painful, that's unless the doctor is doing a blood gas on you then that hurts worse than blood tests and the dentist combined!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think it depends on the ability of the dentist to insert the needle slowly and the ability of the pathologist to insert it carefully!.
In my experiences the dentist can hurt a lot more but if you have good doctors then neither hurtWww@Answer-Health@Com

Neither one hurts!. But if I had to pick one it would be the blood test, because I think the needle is a larger gauge!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
