How others handle their fears

Hi,
As far back as I can remember I have been phobic of dentists, I am also afraid of hospitals, to the point that I find it very hard to visit anyone in hospital!

What I have found is make regular appointments keep them, now I know this is hard so what I do is a
reward system, either the day of the appointment or the day after I book a reward, new book, a night out whatever works, then I go to the dentist with the attitude of " Hell it's 20 minutes, then later I'll
get whatever" <------- insert treat here. So it gets me to go and gets me through the treatment, just thinking about the goodies I'll get after!
