NINE MONTHS of waiting

My dentist broke my wisdom tooth trying to extract it last week and said that he would need to refer me to the hospital to have the rest removed. I've been told this morning that there's a NINE MONTH waiting list.
Now, apart from being consumed with fear for that length of time, I'm also worried about any infection setting in, eating on it and breaking it more, and keeping it clean. Help me or shoot me, please! :cry:
 
I would have that dentist give you another referral. It could cause a cavity and other problems. But if the tooth has broken the skin and isn't impacted, you can let some of your fear go, it won't be that bad.

Thank you :) Tooth is now out :) :) :) I paid to go to a specialist as I couldn't take the risk. Thank you for your time ;)
 
Good for you! I'm glad you had this treated right away :)
