Still in pain and have been for 8 months.

I couldn’t be seen despite having broken a premolar in half and, as usual, all of the temporary fillings I keep having refilled and refilled with temporary fillings - again and again and again (no wonder they can’t fit in many patients as the same ones are always there having their temporary fillings replaced!). My mouth is so painful, not as with an abscess but extreme pain from hot and cold and just constant pain. I rang, and was triaged a week later in mid AUGUST and told I’d get a call the next day. Mid OCTOBER I’d still heard nothing so nervously rang and got an appointment for 12 DECEMBER - four months in pain. Still, I lost half a stone because can’t eat properly so at least my clothes feel looser! I have ‘proper’ fillings at gum level in some of my teeth put there by another dentist and they’ve been there since the mid 80s. And I keep having to pay for fillings that ALWAYS come out a day or two later (I think one lasted a week once). And I never get my teeth polished or stains on the back that show through to the front even though I’ve asked for this and think I also pay for this. My friend also has to constantly have her temporary fillings replaced. For years, with my previous dentist, I only went once a year. At this practice, pre-pandemic, it was every six months and I stopped returning in between checkups to have the temporary fillings replaced after a while. My dentist is such a nice person but I don’t know what this temporary filling business is all about?
