I attended urgent dental care because a temporary filling on my front tooth had broken down and the nerve was exposed. Drinking or even breathing through my mouth was painful. I have also been told by previous dentists that I have very thin enamel on my front teeth, so these temporary fillings are essential to protect the nerve. Despite explaining this clearly, the dentist told me it was “not urgent,” dismissed it as “cosmetic,” and advised me to go private for veneers instead of providing a simple temporary repair. I left with no treatment and no protection for the exposed tooth. Very disappointing and dismissive experience for an urgent appointment.
