Only thing I can probably give you advice on is, Try to get a dentist that you will feel comfortable with.
Don't make a temporary problem become permanent.
You have a phobia, and I bet it's not so much of the needles, drilling etc... it could be the noise that the work on your teeth make.
Calm yourself down in the dentist chair with some dark shades, close your eyes, bring an ipod, turn the volume up and relax.
it will be over before you know it.
Lol that's a good idea, but I ALWAYS faint at the end no matter what, when I finished this root canal, I was fine... then the dentist was saying some crap about candy, that's all I remembered, then I woke up about 3 mins later.
It's ... hidden nervous I guess.
