Well yes you would be. If you bought a new car and the engine fell out or it broke down after five weeks how would you feel if the garage just robbed you off and told you to ring back and they would see what they could do sometime?

Go to the clinic and stand there and complain!

Just had it redone counted up from when it was put in it was 3 weeks n one day so really shouldn't have come out. Dentist said come back if anymore trouble. I said hopefully you won't see me

Maybe actually go to the dentist and say you don't mind sitting and waiting or ask if there's another dentist that could fit you in. It doesn't actually take that long to recement a bridge.

Failing that phone round other practices to see if they could see you as an emergency but you'll probably have to pay or Superdrug and some other chemists sell a temporary cement called Toofypegs which might tide you over until your dentist can see you.
