Fear of the dentist

My 16 year old has a massive phobia of the dentist!! Every time we go it always ends in tears, she's had two wisdom teeth out and a few fillings but other from that it's always check ups. What can I do to conquer her fear?

Some dentists specialise in this apparently. Try googling it. You could also try hypnotherapy.

CBT is brilliant for dental phobia. You can get it through your GP (I did) although may have to wait. It took me 12 sessions to get over it!
