My husband had seen two different dentists, at different times, after other dentists said he needed fillings, only to be told additional fillings were unnecessary. Dentists make more money the more work they do on you.

I need to ask about bruxism. I had a bite guard before but it no longer fits. My old dentist thought I had pretty severe nighttime bruxism. This one has never really discussed it. I have so many crowns I imagine it's less of an issue; it's hard to grind through porcelain.
I don't think I need a 2nd opinion; this dental practice is pretty honest and good to the point my sister drives my nieces 2 hours to see them. My mom's gone there for 20 some years and hasn't had anything like my experience even with the same dentist. But that's a good point with anything medical.
