When to Get a Second Opinion on Dental Care
In the previous post we talked about how if you feel like you should get a second dental opinion on a dental treatment, then you probably should. after all getting a second opinion may also provide peace of mind about the dental care services needed. However, it may not make best sense to get a second opinion for every little cavity or other minor dental health care issue. Here are a few reason why you may want to seek out a second opinion.
- your dentist has diagnosed a major health care problem, such as oral cancer
- your dentist has provided dental work, but it is not fixing your problem
- Your are unsure if the recommended treatment is necessary, or you are concerned about the cost
- You feel that your dentist is not qualified to treat your major dental health problems
- You do not have good rapport with your current dentist
