Conscious sedation
Anyone ever have laughing gas and conscious sedation dentistry? I am due to have 6 teeth removed and IV of anxlolysis is to be used. To say I am petrified is an understatement!

I'm NOT a dentist or expert on this. However, if I'm afraid as you are I would do the following. Know deep down that your dentist is an expert and does this almost every day and will not harm you or any other patient.
Secondly, call him/her up and explain that you are terrified about the appointment and having 6 teeth removed etc. Ask him to explain what is being done, how the equipment works, what the IV does and al the complications.
Ask him/her to post-pone for awhile until you feel fully educated about this and not as fearful. You should also ask for a parent to be present or near the chair when this happens as often moral support makes it easier. They probably see this a lot with young people.
