Dental fear: Many people have a fear of needles. First you need to find someone you can trust and it will take time. Check with friends to see which dentists give shots they can't feel and see if you are comfortable with them. There are offices that will sedate you completely. Others will prescribe something like valium or xanax (alprazolam) until your trust is there. Some use laughing gas, music, to help.

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
