I know how you feel! I always thought I was SOOOO weird, because I'm terrified of my Dentist and Orthodontist! The Doctor doesn't bother me...if you're really that scared, how about talking to them? Get to know them, they won't be that scared...and they'll be even kinder if they know that you are afraid. Also, is there a reason why you'd have this fear? I finally discovered that my fear is probably because I had some really bad dentists when I was little, and they totally screwed up my mouth with braces when I still had baby teeth. Plus, they were later arrested for drug use!!! CREEPY. Anyway, find out why you have the problem, and you can make it better.

If it's a true phobia, some will consider sedation before you even leave home, like a sedative. counseling may work, cause it's difficult to get thru life 'at it's best' without access to health care.

Here in the philippines, we have one clinic here who gives you an overall spa treatment before you go to a dental check up. Try looking a similar one in your place. there might be one.
