Last day I came back home scared from the hospital as the surgeon actually extracted my tooth. I found that he was scared himself. Now it hurts like hell. The worst thing is that I’ll have to go to the dentist for doing the root canal next week. As I had a bad experience with the dentist I visited last day, I am very anxious and scared about any dental work now. My friend says I suffer from phobia disorder and that needs to be treated. I browsed for good treatment centres and found a one nearby, CBT Associates(Toronto). Do I really need such a treatment?

I've had gret success with CBT. One of the things we worked on was Exposure Therapy. Are you able to get your psychiatrist to prescribe you something for the dentist visit? A light sedative perhaps?
