"Frustrated"

About: Charles Clifford Dental Hospital

I had two wisdom teeth removed on the same side and about a month after, I started to notice that my bite was uneven and I was experiencing pain in my upper and lower jaw. I believed that I was experiencing TMJ disorder symptoms, so I went back to my dentist who gave me a referral to go back to Charles Clifford, because there was nothing that she could do for me. My dentist noticed that it was a very severe and urgent matter, so she made an emergency appointment for me at Charles Clifford within the same week. At the appointment they took an X Ray, and said there was nothing wrong with me, even though I disagreed. The dentist at Clifford said it could be soft tissue damage, and that it would heal on its own. I was sent back home with nothing. My symptoms have continued to get a lot worse, and I am left in severe agony. I went back to my dentist and she was shocked that nothing had been done for me. She has booked an emergency appointment again at Charles Clifford. I am now waiting to see them, and I hope this time they can actually help me, instead of leaving me in this pain.
