Asked By:aboudi in Los Angeles, CA

I had a bad infection where I got a dermal filler on my cheek and the nurse blamed it on the abscessed teeth I had . I do had already a broken tooth then but no infection there at the time I had the injection done . Who is to blame here ? The nurse or my broken tooth ?
