If you're really that nervous, you could ask your dentist about conscious sedation. I don't know much about it, but I know that a dentist that was my client (back when I was doing IT consulting) offered it as a service for people who are really fearful of dental work.

They do have to have special types of certification to do it, though, so your dentist may not be able to.

Here's an article about it:
