I Have A Severe Phobia Of Needles And I Am Very Nervous Before My Labial Frenectomy. Is There Anything That Can Be Done Other Than Injections?

Q.

Hello Dr Moore. I hope you can help me as I have a severe phobia of needles and I have bad hyperventilating attacks whenever I see them coming near me or when they are about to be used on me. I have to get a labial frenectomy and I have braces and I am panicking about the needles. I read some people have to get 4-5 injections just to be numbed up for the procedure and I am very VERY nervous about this because I don’t want needles if they don’t have to be used and I am adamant about it. Is there anything else? Thank you for your time.
