After speaking with a few people last night and doing some thinking, I am getting a third opinion on my teeth. I spoke with my old dentist this morning and the last time I went in for a cleaning was in March of 2006 and they have no indication that anything was wrong. So over the course of less than 12 months, I go from no cavities to 12 cavities and potentially a consultation with a peridontist for gum recession?!
I'm very distressed and disappointed by this whole experience. I really hate to think of anyone taking advantage of their position as a doctor, so I have to think of it as one dentist being incredibly conservatively agressive in his treatments and the other very liberal. It's also hard because two of my good friends see this new guy and all of my other old colleagues see the old guy. Who to trust?
My old dentist offered for me to go back in and they would do a second opinion for free...or I may try to find a third dentist and just start over completely.
Although scarily enough, I did just have a dream recently (and I NEVER remember my dreams) of all my teeth falling out. Feels a bit too "woo woo" for me.
