Terrified of the dentist but I need an emergency appointment... handhold please

The last 2 weeks I've had a painless tingling/throbbing in my upper left gum. Thought it was an ear infection as it felt exactly the same as a previous ear infection but GP says ears are clear.

I absolutely hate the dentist, I honestly just want to throw up the whole time I'm in the chair and spend most the appointment trying unsuccessfully not to retch Blush My last check up was only 2 months ago although X-rays weren't due until my next appointment.

I can't keep ignoring this feeling, something is clearly wrong - I need to call my dentist later and try to get the next available appointment but I'm so scared I'll need a filling (or worse) and I don't know how I'll get through it.
