Botched up Root Canal done by my so called Dentist.
Four days ago I had a root canal done my general dentist. I never really cared for her but up until not she did a good enough job. With this root canal she did not get out all the infection or root in my molar. Now my tooth hurts like hell and is making my whole mouth hurt as well too. I tried getting her to look at it but she is putting me off for two days!! I call and leave message but she will not return my calls. The office staffing did but to only tell me that the soonest they can get me back in is in two days.
This is not acceptable to me with the amount of pain I am going to be in. I feel I have no choice but to wait and I am so upset that this is happening to me. What can I do about this? I have to go back but how to I control my temper about how she jerked me off! Is there anyway I can make her fix up her mess sooner? I have already paid in full to have this root canal done you think that would mean something to her

It seems odd that she would not take you in sooner then two days. Being that you are in a great deal of pain. I do not know how to address that issue.
I guess you could go down to the dental office in person and say you will wait to be seen. They should not want to have an upset in pain customer in their lobby.
However if you have to wait the two days do you best to keep your mouth clean. Wash it out with warm salt water. Doing that may help.

I think you are a little and are going to have to put up with it for now. You already paid for the root canal so if the dentist did do something wrong it would be on them to fix it without charging you more.
If you change dentist now you will have to pay the new dentist to resolve what is every currently wrong. That said you may want to thing about changing dentist when every thing is done with this one issue.

I would continue to deal with the dentist just until your tooth is fixed correctly. I know that at this point it may be a hassle but getting another dentist in the middle normally does not work out well.
Now once everything is done and say change your dentist. It seems clear by what you wrote that saying with the same dentist afterwords my not be best idea for you.
