Answer:
Dear Majbrit
It is an absolute last resort when you choose to put a patient under general anesthesia. There are other forms of treatment of dental phobia, blah. hypnosis, acupuncture or premedication with a sedative before each treatment. There are some dental clinics around the country offering general anesthesia. Of course it would be best for you in the future to be treated by your own dentist without anesthesia, try and talk to your dentist about what it is you are so afraid of.
A similar question was previously answered here in the letterbox, and you can see the short list of some dentists offering general anesthesia.

Hope you can use my answer.
