Just calm down- tensing up is only gonna make it worse. When I had that done, the dentist wiggled my cheek and I never even felt the needle go in. But, if you are really panicking, you can ask the dentist to prescribe you a mild sedative to take before the procedure.

The needle isn't that bad. Here's some tips:
They should give some numbing stuff before the needle so it doesn't hurt as much.
It's just a small pinch. Like getting your ears pierced but not as bad. Just think of something else and hold a friend's hand or the edge of the chair. It only lastes a few seconds before it starts to feel numb.
It will taste a little bad.
You may need more numbing stuff from the needle if you're sensitive to pain. Ask the dentist if you can give him some sort of signal while he's drilling to let him know you need more.
Good luck and don't worry!

Ok I have had some horrors myself. Ask for gas. It will take the edge off. Also you will laugh at this one but take an orange with you. The smell is calming.
Have the dentist explain it to you. Don't get worked up over it . Go first.

Good Luck

You don't have to have a needle to get your tooth worked on. Of course, it might hurt like hell without it. I pretty sure the needle won't hurt as much as whatever pain your putting up with from your tooth. Just as a side note: You might want to work on your writing skills.

Perhaps you can go to a dentist where they give you Nitrous Oxide gas to calm you a bit.
