Dr. Steven J Brill, DDS

Good evening, I’m not sure if you’re the Dr Brill from the 70’s or not, but I’m have a story to tell. I was just sharing a story with my family about an experience I had with Dr Brill when I was growing up. I chipped my front tooth when I was a youngster it had a cap which fell off over time and it got infected because my nerve was exposed. My mom made an appointment with Dr Brill to try to recap the tooth and Dr Brill said it had to be pulled. Dr Brill kept trying to numb the tooth but couldn’t get it numb enough to pull, finally he gave up on my screams and decided to pull the tooth anyway. Well he yanked and yanked as blood ran down my face. After I fought which seems like an eternity, he screamed if you don’t shut up I will send you out of my office, finally with the tooth hanging out my mouth he told me to leave. I walked to the Eastside of Freeport with my front tooth hanging out my mouth. I got home and sat on my porch and cried with blood running down my face. My mom got home… and luckily Dr Rockblat (spelling?) made an emergency appointment for me and put me to sleep to pull the tooth. I had a missing tooth for 27 years because I was afraid of dentists. Finally I was able to go and be fitted with a plate and have a tooth now. I’m sure you may be a son or family member of Dr Brill but you just don’t know the pain and grief you caused this kid. I’m 60 years old and my heart beats fast when I take my kids to the dentist, I relive that difficult time whenever I go to the dentist. Thank you for you time, I needed to get that off my chest.
