to wait to have it extracted? I have been a patient of this particular oral surgeon for four years, so I’m not walking in off the street. Shouldn’t an office have time slots for emergency visits? Why would this not be considered an emergency? I have already taken one round of antibiotics, but my tooth still hurts, the glands in my neck hurt (on the side of the abscessed tooth), and I just generally feel ill. I am completely dumbfounded that an oral surgeon’s office would actually ask someone to suffer seven weeks before having their tooth extracted. What do you think? (Please don’t state the obvious, which is that I could see someone else. There is a reason I’d like to stay with this practice if at all possible, but right now, I’m really pissed.)
