Hi all,
I had gone to a new dental office and had a complete set of x-rays done and the dentist looked at them a long while and said I have 4 cavities. He did the cleaning and scheduled me for next week for the cavities. When I came back they gave me a new dentist and explained that they routinely rotate the dentists between patients and that I might in fact be getting a different dentist every time I come in. I've never had that before in any dental office large or small that I've gone to so that seemed strange to me. But what really got me is the 2nd dentist says instead of having 4 cavities that I have 7 and need a root canal. What do you guys think about the difference of opinions of the 2 dentists looking off the same x-rays? I know what I think, I'm not going there anymore and now looking for a new dentist.
Btw, I had that complete set of digital x-rays done exactly 90 days ago and did have 3 cavities drilled by that 2nd dentist. I'm about to go to another dental office and bring those x-rays with me. Will it matter that they're 3 months old? Will new dentist insist on taking their own new(er) x-rays? A little concerned about all that radiation..
