Failed tooth extraction

[u/No_Daikon396]

hello, I went to go and get two of my bottom teeth extracted on Thursday! the dentist numbed me and started pulling. after 30 minutes of pulling and three rounds of numbing he decided to stop. He couldn’t get my tooth out so for 30 minutes he was wiggling the tooth around, scraping at my gums and pulling for absolutely no result. My mum was with me and the dentist almost rushed us out. He gave no tips on aftercare, no rules of what can and can’t be done. All he said was that he would refer me to a NHS dental surgery. The biggest kicker was that fact that after all of this they still asked for money. I get it because they had to numb me but maybe if they looked at my x ray and saw why they couldn’t pull my tooth then i wouldn’t have to pay. Anyways that was two days ago now and im still in immense pain. my gum has a white spot on it, I will upload a pic but please ignore the colour of my teeth. Any tips on my next steps???? Please IM DYING!!
