    I also have a phobia of dentists. I've always hated people going near my face and mouth and I freaked out when I had to get a filling once, and then I got really OCD about teeth brushing, and was constantly paranoid about my teeth. For a while I felt sick if someone even talked about teeth.

    I found it helps a lot if you tell the dentist that you are anxious and autistic.

    (also it's not for everyone, but you can use prescription anxiety drugs to get you through  the experience)
