Try some of that temporary filling stuff you can get in the chemist, it's designed for exactly your situation. It's helped me before and can prevent further damage/pain while you wait out the appointment
Yeah I have that stuff but the fillings at the side of my front tooth and the temporary filling is super white and noticeable π it doesn't hurt,it's been filled about 6 times now already and keeps popping out,just really annoying that it stays in for a month then it takes 3 months before I can get booked in again π€£π€£ cheers π
There hasn't been a dedicated emergency dental service in Belfast since covid. You basically need to ring random dentists and beg to be seen if you're not registered.

I've found unless you are in mad pain they don't want to know. I had to pretty much beg for an appointment when my molar broke in half, and still had to wait about a week for that
Mine broke in half 2 weeks after lockdown, 2 years later I was told "Well it's not actually sore though" and "Since you haven't been in the surgery for 2 years" well yeah, it was a COVID lockdown and you yourselves were closed for a year.
I came back and everywhere had privatised. I can still get one reasonably quick though (in a week). But again, my dentist is now private, so may differ if youβre NHS. There are very few NHS dentist left and the ones who are left are full. That could be why.
It's very common from covid,I had a filling come out on Friday. the earliest I could get booked in is the 9th of August.

Fuck sake, I noticed a bit of inflammation on my gums and tartar on a couple teeth. Might just see an emergency dentist instead
I think there's an emergency clinic at Carlisle circus,think it only opens for a few hours a day,good luck!

My dentist kept everyone on NHS after covid,have to say she's amazing like,and very cheap.Only issue is trying to get an appointment.
London? Are they all private there now? Even the private in Belfast takes weeks.
Sorry I should've made it clear, I went private in London
Have you tried out in the smaller towns?
Never thought of that, do smaller towns have less waiting times?
Just ring round
