Ah - dentophobia - wasn't difficult was it? I should've guessed. thanks for that, jacko.

I always called it odontophobia. Which is dentists and dental procedures.

For 'extreme' fear you could say �ber odontophobia, but that just aint Greek, so hyper-odontophobia, I guess.

If its having a needle shoved so far up your gob you think it might pierce your eyeball, thats Trypanophobia that is.

Yes, it`s a well known phenomenon called `CHICKEN` Over the years I`ve had all my choppers removed one by one so go for it. Believe me there`s nothing to get worked up about.
