> 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).
