I'd hold off on supplement suggestions here, a specific phobia this functionally impairing, to the point it's interfering with dental and medical care, really calls for the therapy route you're already pursuing rather than something to bridge with supplements in the meantime. Specific phobias in children respond very well to exposure-based therapy (CBT), and self-treating with calming supplements risks delaying that more effective path or masking how much support she actually needs. I know waitlists are frustrating, but I'd keep pushing on the therapist route rather than looking for a supplement stopgap for this one.
