answer:Find a new dentist. It shouldn’t have taken a week for you to get into see your dentist, at least that’s not how my dentist would have handled it but my dentist is a saint. Maybe I’m just lucky. I had a tooth that needed an emergency pulling and he met me in his office at 9:00pm on a Saturday night and when my father had his fall and landed on his face, and, among other things, broke his upper plate in half, our dentist offered to come by the house, if my dad didn’t want to come into the office, because my dad was kind of like that, to make sure the repaired upper plate fit properly. But like I said, my dentist is a saint; he’s just awesome. Find yourself a another dentist. Just from the fact that you were in pain, with a temporary tooth that, I am assuming, was made and installed by your dentist, and you had to wait a week and “managed” to get into see him or her makes me think, definitely, a new dentist. One who gives a shit.
