Honest Dentistry?

Going through my own tooth dilemma and getting some red flags from my new dentist that I need to work out, I did some reading online hoping to get some answers before I get my x-rays and head out the door for a second opinion. What I found was, well, very unsettling.

I found an article in Reader’s Digest (Canada) about a woman who decided to randomly visit 45 dentists with x-rays and ask for an opinion. You’d think she’d get the same recommendations, overall, wouldn’t you? She didn’t. This is a must read.

In today’s times, with a difficult economy, I think we need to be even more cautious. I’ve done some studying online and plan to read my own x-rays as best I can, and where I have questions, I will ask them!
