After admittedly going too long between dentist visits, I chose Dr. Levin's office because it was close to my office, and they accepted my insurance. Upon my first visit, I received a thorough cleaning and exam. The hygienist informed me I would need to come back for an additional cleaning in two weeks--my fault for waiting so long between cleanings. After the examination, Dr. Levin remarked that I had a very healthy mouth. The only issue he wanted to address was replacing a single filling that was starting to decay. So I returned a few days later to have the filling replaced. Again, he finished to say things looked great, and he'd see me in six months.
Today I returned for my follow-up cleaning and polishing. After the hygienist finished, Dr. Levin performed another quick exam. Momentarily, he remarked, "There are only two small things I'd like to fix. You have two old fillings that are beginning to decay."
"And why didn't we fix this when I was here a couple of weeks ago?" I asked, annoyed.
"Oh, I just wasn't looking that closely then," he replied.
Needless to say, this should NEVER be something a dentist tells his patient. Upon checkout (and after paying another large payment that would bring my running balance after insurance to close to $300.00), I was asked to schedule that additional appointment.
I will be looking for a new dentist more closely than Dr. Levin looked at my teeth.
