The best way to counter terror of going to the dentist?

Consider hypnosis: I have had some good results with hypnosis and sedative medicines can also be used to take the edge off as well as nitrous oxide gas.

IV Sedation: Sedation is a great way to manage terror of dental treatment. You essentially fall asleep with IV sedation and you wake up and everything is done! you will not remember anything during your treatment.
