Second Dental Opinion

Well, I finally went and got a second dental opinion. I thought you would find this interesting. The dentist was a woman about my age. She had a fresh and honest face. Her opinion? I had all the cavities the other dentist said in my wisdom and molars, however, she only saw calcification on my front tooth. She said that is the earliest hint that decay could form, but she didn’t see any decay, and she wouldn’t fill that tooth at this time. She saw no point, but would keep an eye on it.

Then she told me, she thought I needed to have 5 other molars filled that the other dentist didn’t!! I think she truly believed it, too.

She told me she was conservative and thought her instrument stuck in each of these molars and hence they needed to be filled. She then told me, I could wait on them if I wanted, and she would prioritize them.

Does this make your head spin, or what?
