One great hack I've used to find a good dentist is to find one that used to serve in the armed forces; I reason that they were well trained not to overdiagnose since materials were limited and the military didn't have an unlimited budget, nor did they get paid any more. Thus far, that has been true, and I have liked every dentist I've found that way. I developed this theory after finding one the 'old fashioned' way, through reviews and word of mouth, and he convinced me I had six cavities and I let him drill and fill two of them before I got a second opinion. Turns out I had no cavities, and didn't need the first two filled either; just a few spots to watch.
