Dear Enquirer,
Dental phobia can be very debilitating, especially when a patient requires active treatment. I am advising that you find a dentist who is empathetic with your phobia, some dentists also offer treatment under sedation, others have developed techniques like hypnotherapy that can relax patients enough to undergo treatment.
In either case, it is important that you address this issue head on and try and get some advice.
