Visiting dentist today but would like an idea of what's going on to eliminate shock value

Hi all, my name is jennifer, I'm 29 years old and have terrible dental phobia. I avoided appointments most of my teen years, and then two years ago found a dentist who did dental sedation. She did a cleaning and filled four filings for me. It was hard for me to go but I remember nothing and it worked well. I still had two cavities at that time that I couldn't afford to fill but she said they were small ones.
Fast foewars two two years later I haven't gotten a cleaning (too terrified to go) and for the last four weeks I have this feeling in my back left teeth. (My wisdom teeth have been removed) but I have this tightness, sore feeling that almost feels like something is stuck between my last two teeth. I've floased and nothing. It's been going on for weeks, is off and on sore, and both of these teeth have fillings. One is old, one is from two years ago. The old one looks intact to me.
I try to take good care of my teeth because I hate going to the dentist so much so I brush twice a day and floss, but my teeth are just genetically crappy. They aren't in bad shape from what I can tell, but I'm going to the Dentist tonight for an x-ray and an exam without the cleaning. I am TERRIFIED. One of my biggest fears is them telling me what's wrong. I worry that dentists over treat and I've never needed anything other than a filling, but since these teeth are already filled I don't understand what's going on. Can anyone maybe let me know if they know what this might be so I'm not shocked when I go there?
