I am currently unable to have a filling done on a painful tooth as my dentist is unable to get me numb enough to complete the work. She has tried three times and used different injections, as recommended by a dental hospital so has referred me to this hospital.
After waiting 6 months for the referral appointment I went to the nhs dental hospital yesterday. The department I was referred to did investigations including xrays and said the hospital would need to try to do the filling themselves. They then said their department only removed teeth so they would have to refer me to the department across the corridor and to expect another 6 month wait as this would be a new referral.
Does anyone know if there is anyway I can complain about having to wait again as presumably I have been referred to the wrong depart,ent. and this is hardly my fault and I am sick and tired of putting up with the tooth pain that started almost a year ago.
