I’m very frustrated. I called my dentist to tell him I’m in massive pain and they said the soonest they could see me was in two weeks. He didn’t seem to care what kind of pain I was in. I can’t do this for two weeks. I’m going through more ibuprofen than I think is safe. What do I do?

Audrey,
The first thing you do is get another dentist. The least he could have done was seen you to try to get you out of pain. I’m sorry he doesn’t seem to care.
I think you should see who are emergency dentists in your area. They’ll see non-established patients. Most will see you the same day you call.
Pain is a symptom that something is wrong. I don’t think you’re in danger of this, but don’t put this off. It will only get worse.
