    In medical terms unmanageable pain would be classed as an emergency so I find that to be a gap in the care of dental patients. I am still in a lot of pain and have a feeling that the tooth next to the one that was removed has problems too, but I am resigned to not being able to get any treatment until several weeks time.

    Rose, I feel for you, constant pain gets you down.

    sorry you're wrong i work OOH including dental and NHS criteria does not consider unmanageable pain and a reason for a dental appointment.

    I know it doesnt, that was my point as I feel it should.
