"Waiting times for dental surgery"

My local NHS dentist referred me to the NDDH/Maxillo-Facial Dept. for the "surgical extraction" of my UR3 tooth early in October.  This came about as the tooth had broken off a gum level during the local attempt at extraction, and no further progress could be made at that point due to "lack of appropriate equipment".  Since that time I have been unable to eat any food requiring chewing as it is too painful to wear the supplied denture despite "re-lining" and "adjustment" attempts by the local dentist.  It is now the end of November, and I am told by this Hospital Dept. that it is likely I shall have to wait at least another month before the procedure!  I was also told that there were 4 consultants and 3 Registrars in this department.  I consider the long waiting time to be excessive and requiring urgent investigation by the appropriate authorities.
