I'm not afraid of the dentist, I've been known to have small fillings with no anaesthetic at all, but the mention of an extraction sends me into a blind tearful panic.
I have the exact same thing. What makes it worse is that my dentist - while competent as a dentist - has very little empathy, and can't seem to get her head around the phobia despite having seen me cheerfully breeze through any and all other non-extraction treatment, but cry like a baby during extractions (and on one occasion, actually make a bid for escape).
