Basically, this is when you have an irrational fear of going to the dentist. There are two extremes of dental phobias, one type may spend too much time thinking about their teeth or dentists or dental situations, and then the other type of dental phobias spend a lot of time trying to avoid thinking of their teeth or dentists or dental situations.

Trying not to think about your teeth is very hard, especially with the vast amount of toothpaste adverts on TV and on billboards etc. In my opinion, you need to bite the bullet and take yourself to the dentist for regular check-ups. This will benefit you in the long term as your dentist will be able to help with toothache, prevent future issues with your teeth and also pin point any underlying health problems.
