It is possible to be under anesthesia during dental procedures. However, some insurance companies will not cover the additional cost, and there may be some reasons why you cannot be under anesthesia if you have health problems. Talk to your dentist to find out if anesthia is right for you. If it's not, talk to a friend, family member, or counselor about your "fears", and then go to the dentist.

You might be able to ask for "laughing gas" or for the dentist to prescribe you one valium before the procedure to help you relax. To be actuallly anesthetized is actually very risky, and can only be done either in a hospital or a specific oral surgery clinic. Regular dentists' offices do not have the equipment nor the trained anesthesiologists to 'put you under'. Also, being placed under general anesthetic costs a lot of money, and due to the risks, is nothing to be undertaken lightly.
Best to check with a dentist (just a chat, maybe have him/her look at the problem) and let him/her know that you have a severe phobia. Many dentists would do their best to help you relax (like I mentioned before, with the use of laughing gas or writing you a prescription for one valium to take a 1/2 hour before your appointment).

If its dental surgery it's automatic that the patient will be anesthesized before doing the surgery.Minor procedures require no anesthesia ta all(such as cleaning,fillings,et.al)but sometimes patient request for it.If you are not medically compromised then its ok.

Dentists will allow you to be anesthetised if you are medically able to, you just have to ask. And pay a little extra cash, those drugs are expensive.

Sure. Discuss your situation with your DDS. and work out a plan. Most DDS. get very little input from there patients. I recently had ALLOT of work done due to an accident. I discussed our plan of approach with him and it all went well. He told me he appreciated my willingness to work with him.
