You will be fine. The dentist is only looking after your best interests. He wants you to have healthy teeth and gums so that you will continue to have a beautiful smile for many years to come!
I am also deathly afraid of the dentist. I had to have a cleaning when I was pregnant with Landon and it was the first time I had a cleaning without gas. Seriously.
After doing it the once, I'm able to do it. One thing that REALLY helps me is my iPod. I can't hear the noises as much and I'm able to cope.
Re: Please tell me it will be ok.

It's going to be ok.
I need to do this too. I've been putting it off for far too long. I like the Ipod suggestions - let me know if it helps!
