i got a cavity filled but it does not look completely covered.. help?

Question

ok - today i got a filling done in my lower back molar surface.  a few hours later i looked in the mirror to see the new tooth cover and noticed that there was still what i thought was part of the cavity showing---

this is the kind of cavity i had: see how there is a brown color where it has been eaten away? i can see a single dot of that that was not covered on the effected tooth... is this still the cavity showing? did she miss that part? what do i do now?

my biggest concern other then the tooth on day rotting from this is that my insurance is over on december 31st which is creeping up close- and i may not be able to get it fixed in time unless i know if it is actually a cavity.

thanks to all who answer

Go back to your dentist and have him correct it.

Yes, go back and tell your dentist that he/she left part of the cavity and that you dont feel comfortable nor happy with it, he has to correct it, if he didn't clean the cavity all the way, it won't dissapear on its own, you paid for it, so get the job right.
