DD needle phobia

Any advice? My daughter has to have some teeth out and today is the second time she's been to have it done, this time with calming medicine and she's bolted from the room refusing to have it done once she's seen the needle. She's point blank refusing and getting her self completely worked up about it. I just don't know what to do?

Get a referral to have them done under sedation. I had teeth out at a similar age (possibly slightly younger) and while fine with needles I used to be awful with the dentist with an overactive gag reflex making it almost impossible to do more than a check up. I had them out under sedation and it was a much easier process for all involved!
