RE: Free Second Opinion in Dental Diagnosis Could Save You $$$

in #dentistry8 years ago

Happened to me. I had one dentist fresh from dental school tell me I needed a deep cleaning that would cost thousands of dollars. I didn't spend the money. Years later another dentist told me it wasn't true. I'm not a young man anymore but my teeth are still in pretty good shape! The main thing is that now I have a dentist I can trust. If a dentist or any doctor is just using you to make money, it's time to get another doctor.

Glad you were wise enough to know the difference! I'm tired of seeing this happening in the profession!

I wonder if we could make a difference for someone if everyone shares this post along with their experience.

I don't think any dentist will see anyone for free and give them a second opinion without paying for it. That's the problem with getting multiple medical opinions- you have to pay for each one.

Most of the dentist I know would or at least take just what their insurance would cover. It is a great opportunity to gain a new client who needs some type of treatment.
