Your question?: Are you asking if you should wait until it hurts, and then rush to the dentist? The answer is no. Seek care now from a trusted provider in your area. Bring along a close friend for support since you are so fearful.

Be Smart: If you wait until you are in extreme pain and\or have an infection, you'll even be more apprehensive, & be forced into an emergency situation where it might be uncomfortable for you both during & after the procedure. It's much better to push yourself to get the work done now. It's never as bad as a patient thinks it's going to be. Be smart. Ask your dentist to be gentle & caring. You'll be fine.
