    Its difficult to say without knowing the teeth and the person attached to them!
    Are your teeth good, or have you suffered with lots of decay and big fillings?

    Lots of decay and big fillings, he has me on flouride mouthwash as he says my teeth are quite weak :(

    Funny that, it was empty, I was in pain and the dentist was standing around drinking coffee.

    A mild toothache is a "bit of a problem" this was raging pain caused by the Dentist prodding around in the tooth the day before. I dont expect miracles but as he was seemingly doing nothing, it was 3pm, the surgery was empty and doesnt close until 4pm it would have hardly been a stretch to provide me with antibiotics to clear up the infection would it?

    at the practice where i work at one minute its hectic as sh*t and then 10 minutes later its dead. i cant comment on your treatment but for all you know that might have been the dentists first break all day, and how do you know there wasnt a patient in the chair numbing up? or that a patient was due any minute?
  • Hope you get it sorted soon.
