My dentist has one of the most state of the art facilities I've ever seen. On my first visit they told me I needed 2 fillings and a cleaning and sent me on my way.
> This has happened to me before when i went away to college my childhood dentist said I had cavities that I needed to fill. When i got to college and went to the dentist there, they couldn't find a problem.
The college dentist could also just be wrong.
- hansonkd 2y ago> The college dentist could also just be wrong Maybe, but then other dentists I saw after college would also be wrong too. I think you are hitting a core problem with dentists, is that it is hard to verify and get a second opinion. Since insurance only covers one xray a year, etc. it is more economical for people to just get a filling (maybe $50-$100 with insurance) compared with going out and paying out of pocket for a second exam and xrays ($100-$300).
