It seems like you were in a lot of pain and I would have pushed the doctor into giving me a quick emergency type appointment. That's why you go to him, instead of having to find another dentists who is willing to take on another patient. It seems that's what you did anyway.
If a doctor is not receptive to an immediate need appointment, it time to shop for a more caring doctor. The area around the teeth has a lot of nerves so the pain can be excrutiating. I had am emergency once on a sunday and it's a good thing I was at a friends house who informed me, (i didn'yt know), that dentists were on a hospital's staff. I went and he lanced my gums and the pain slowly oozed from my face. It was immediate relief.
Either he was listening to you or you didn't persist in saying that you needed to be seen right away.
