I broke a large part of my tooth off yesterday. It really hurtd and i called the dentist but he cant see me until next month. That is the earliest out of all the dentists i called! What can i say or do to make them see me earlier? Do they just expect me to sit around like this. I cant eat.

A fractured tooth like that is a dental emergency. You should look for a dentist who can see you immediately as an emergency patient to stabilize the tooth.
If you can't find private dentists who can, try a dental school if there is one near you. They always have a dental student on rotation to see emergency cases just like yours.
Get it look at soon, and good luck.

I understand how you feel, but there is also a constant demand for dental treatment. If you are available on very short notice, they may be able to put you on a "short list" so that, if there is a last minute cancellation, they can call you in right away. But most dental offices are quite busy and may not have time to wait. Some offices book a certain time for emergencies but be aware that you are not the only emergency and they may be just booked up.

I relatively have had six abscesses and could say that I "win the prize" while it includes having the main. the 2nd to the final one replaced into the worst (even worse than the three organic childbirths I had) and, like others have suggested, you may desire to get it dealt with immediately. you may get an infection that can commute to different areas of your equipment, and which would be risky. considering the fact that emergency rooms often don't have dentists, each and every of the medical doctors could supply you will be discomfort meds. hence, you may desire to locate a dentist who takes emergencies (maximum do,) and get there the former day. stable success and that i would be praying for you.

HELLO,
DEFINITELY IS YOU'RE IN PAIN AND CAN'T EAT YOU HAVE A TRUE DENTAL EMERGENCY. IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR CURRENT DENTIST, CALL THEM AGAIN AND MAKE THE POINT THAT YOU ARE IN SEVERE PAIN AND IF THEY CAN'T SEE YOU HAVE THEM GIVE YOU THE NAME OF A DENTIST THAT CAN. THEY WILL NOT WANT BAD NEWS TO SPREAD AROUND OF THE POOR TREATMEN T YOU HAD AT FIRST AND THEY WOULD SEE YOU. IF THEY STILL WON'T HELP YOU FOR 1 MONTH FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

That is uncalled for, you should be seen as an emergency exam. Call them back tell them you are in pain and insist on being seen. If the front office does not set you up insist on speaking to the dentist personally.

Tell them you are in pain. Some offer emergency services and can see you within 24 hours. Or ask if they can prescribe some painkillers until then.
