I went in to Dr. Campbell's office to have a twenty-one year old amalgam filling removed from a molar. I requested that it be replaced with a composite filling or a cap because amalgam fillings leak mercury as well as for cosmetic reasons. To my dismay, Dr. Campbell only removed half of the twenty-one year old amalgam filling and refilled the other half of my molar with a composite filling.
When I questioned why the new composite filling appeared dark blue he said, "The filling appears dark blue, because I used litmus paper to test whether or not your bite is correct."
That was not true. I was informed by another doctor that Dr. Campbell left in half of the twenty-one year old amalgam filling and refilled the other half with the composite material, and that is why the visible half of the new composite filling appears dark blue. Needless to say, my objective of replacing all of my amalgam fillings with composite fillings was not met.
I am disappointed with his work, and stunned that he was dishonest about his work.
