my wisdom tooth broke in half and im in pain

Q. My wisdom tooth broke in half getting severe pain cannot sleep or eat been to emergency dentist told it has to be exstracted told it could take between 14 to 18 weeks is this normal and is there anything that could be done sooner

A. It depends on the local arrangements where you are and what level of difficulty the extraction is. If you are  getting severe pain the local arrangements should help to manage your condition until treatment is completed. Try your NHS Primary Care Trust (PCT) for details. Phone directories usually have details.
