Last year the filling in a root canal came out. It was redone and lasted a while before coming out again. The dentist said it would need to be extracted but she couldn’t do it and she filled it temporarily with a white substance that hardened. That lasted a few weeks and then fell out. Since then parts of my tooth have been breaking off but I wasn’t having any pain it just caused the gums to swell.

I contacted my dentist and explained and they said they weren’t seeing anyone due to Covid. She sent me some antibiotics to take. A few days ago, the final part of my tooth has come out. All that is left is the tooth that is just visible on the gum line.

Now the gum has swollen so much it’s almost covering the tooth and there is a large hard lump next to the tooth. My dentist still isn’t seeing anyone. Do I need to see an emergency dentist?. I know I will need to have the root removed but my dentist said they wouldn’t do it because of Covid.
