Dental phobic hygienist here... I know two dentists that are phobic.... wondering if there are more out there?
 
I'm not ONLY because I'm careful with who treats me. If you have complete confidence in your doctors it goes a very very long way to put yourself at ease. I will say that having a sinus lift with just local anesthesia is very annoying. Of course I always know what he is doing and what he needs from me so that he is most able to perform the procedure as well as possible. I don't mind laying upside down with water running down my neck and my head twisted to the side if that improves his visibility. My dentist isn't a sensitive person at all nor is he gentle.
