Dental anxiety: Anyone else terrified of the dentist?

I have this massive phobia of the dentist. It sounds ridiculous because I didn't mind going when I was just a kid, but now I’m such a total wimp about it 😁 Basically, I’m still young and don't need much work done, but I just can't wrap my head around the idea of actually sitting in that chair. There is absolutely nothing anyone could do to force me...
unless they could just put me under

Is that even a thing?

Is there any way to pay a little extra to be put under general anesthesia 😁, so they can just knock out two or three teeth all at once and let me be good for a few years... 🙂

Use some common sense... why risk general anesthesia when you can just find a dentist who will work with you over a few sessions to get you desensitized? You can get everything fixed using just local anesthesia instead.
