I went to see Dr. Levy when I had a broken filling. Dr. Levy told me to leave the filling alone. But I did not listen and went to another dentist who did a terrible job repairing the filling, making it too big. The overly large new filling caused my gums to bleed and I needed antibiotics to make my gums heal. I went back to Dr. Levy but she ignored the other dentist's error, and refused to give me antibiotics. She insisted I had to return to the dentist who did the filling. She did say that "any time you drill out a tooth, it's a risk," but she did not say that the filling was too big and that it was causing the bleeding. Eventually I filed down the filling myself, because I was afraid to return to the dentist who did such a poor job. Patients are so at the mercy of dentists who make errors and other dentists who refuse to correct them.
