My Thanksgiving is going to suck!!

[Kcthepouchh8r]

That does suck! Hope they can get you in sooner.

[minerswife17]

I would try to call around to another dentist and see if they could get you in sooner.

Oh that sucks!

And damn, you need a new dentist if they're giving you a two week wait for a broken tooth.

I'm a new patient as it is. My old one stopped taking my insurance I guess.  No one else is taking any new patients!!!!

The good news is, I am not in excruciating pain. Just sensitive and have to eat carefully

This.  That's crazy.  When I was a dental assistant that is considered an emergency visit.  We would squeeze people in right away for that.  Call back and tell them it's sharp and your tongue keeps going to the area and getting sore from it.  

Sorry that happened.  Not that there is any good timing to break a tooth, but this week really sucks.

Thinking about it, I guess it's a perfect time to break a tooth. Now you have a perfect excuse for only eating pumpkin pie. yumm

I called everyone from my insurance website within 45 mile radius (there was only about 8). Only other one I could get into as a new patient said not until January???

Most were not taking new patients though. Not the best insurance

Perhaps, this was my error. I was honest and am really not in pain.  Haven't even taken a pain pill of any kind.  Just sensitive when I try to chew so I am avoiding. Which is why I think it is part of a filling.  The piece was really small. Smaller than a grain of Quinoa

[andrewsgal]

Um I would get in ASAP. Call and say it's an emergency. Tooth pain can go from bad to worse in like 10 seconds.

Oh man that sucks CJ! This happened to my mom when we were traveling oversees once. One of her front teeth! I felt so bad for her.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

One of my fillings fell out a few years ago and couldn't get into see anyone during the weekend. I bought this stuff, it's a PITA, but it was a temp fix.

That's still a shitty wait time. I was not thrilled about the 2 days I had to wait for mine.

If it is sensitive to eat and you have to make a point to avoid it, then you are in pain.

We have emergency dental places around here...do you? They could at least see if it's just a filling or not then you might have a better idea of what to do/expect.

Sorry. That does suck.

No - down falls of the country.  I am sure if I drive to Hartford I could find one but I just don't have the time to get there.  It's a solid hour from my house.

If it was really bad, I would. Or i it gets really bad I will call back

All of ours here require you to be a patient of record to be seen. Even the emergency only places require you to be a patient of record somewhere for afterhours/weekend calls.

I called every fucking dental office in town when I had my issue. Not an option because I had been putting off my appointments for too long.

Aww bummer.

Yeah...hopefully it stays manageable for you!

Thanks for commiserating y'all!! lol

[sparkythelawyer]

Call daily to check for cancellations until they find a spot for you

[olivegoose]

I agree with PP who said it could go from bad to worse quickly. I would bug the shit out of people.

This! CJ DON'T WAIT!

[thecheshirekat]

If it's already sensitive, you could be in for a world of hurt over a four day weekend. I would call back, tell them the pain is getting worse, and beg for someone to see you or ask if they know anyone they could refer you to for this emergency. My teeth are a mess and I've had dental emergencies before - the pain can escalate VERY suddenly, depending on what's going on in there, how close it is to the nerve, etc.
