In my life the scariest moments are visiting the dentist, Why?

I can do all the daredevil things from paragliding to diving with sharks and yet I am more afraid each time I go to dentist. Why and what can I do about it ?

Find a dentist who specializes in dental phobia. These are usually very patient and understanding people. Somebody who will take their time with you and not just "get u in and out." Also, some offices have conscious sedation which I have found to be very nice on those patients that need quiet a bit of work done and dont so much like to come to the dentist. Ask about your options, they ARE available.
