Question:
I broke my tooth and called the dentist, but they say they cant see me until next month. Why so long?
I broke a large part of my tooth off yesterday. It really hurtd and i called the dentist but he cant see me until next month. That is the earliest out of all the dentists i called! What can i say or do to make them see me earlier? Do they just expect me to sit around like this. I cant eat.
Answers:
A fractured tooth like that is a dental emergency. You should look for a dentist who can see you immediately as an emergency patient to stabilize the tooth.
If you can't find private dentists who can, try a dental school if there is one near you. They always have a dental student on rotation to see emergency cases just like yours.
Get it look at soon, and good luck.
