A dental filling that basically rubbed out after less than 48 hours after being placed. On 2/24/2013 I went to Columbia Prime Dental for a 10 am emergency Dental appt. I was seen by Dr. Lumida H. Tchakarova Everyone in the office was very friendly. The procedure itself was excellent, Absolutely no pain whatsoever. I went in for a tooth which was infact infected. The dentist (dr Tchakarova)removed the old filling said she didn't find any infection and put in a new filling. Less than 30 minutes after leaving the office a large chunk of the filling came out in my mouth. I called and was told to come back in which I immediately did. They looked at it and said the material was still there. However I could feel a large hole in the filling. Dr. Tchakaova put more ""material"" as she called it in and asked me if I had bit down on anything. I told her no. Which I hadn't But if there was no hole then why would she put more ""material in or ask me that. She said not to eat or drink for atleast 30 minutes. I live about 30 minutes away from the office. I went home and about 5 hours later ate dinner. Again I could feel the ""material"" coming off. The next morning after brushing my teeth even more came off. It has been less than 48 hours and there is a gapping hole in my mouth where most of the filling has melted (for lack of a better word) away. I am in severe pain, can't eat or drink and out 155.00 dollars and now have to pay another dentist to fix what I have already paid for.And when it was time to bill me the first time, she just wrote prices down on a yellow memo pad and charged me. There was no proper Itemized bill or anything given.I am thoroughly disgusted with this to say the least. I refuse to go back to her (Dr Tchakarova) because she was already given 2 chances to put in a proper filling and failed. I have an appointment on monday to see my family dentist and will be able to then give a proper uptate on exactly what was put in my mouth and what effect it caused
