How do you trust dentist when you get different opinions by different dentists?
Jasmine asked:
Does this happen to you? When we went to a dentist, he said you have cavity and also need to go for gum treatment. For second opinion we went to another dentist and says everything is fine. Then after six month this second dentist says you have to go for gum treatment to periodentist, but we didn't and changed dentist again. The new dentist says you have no problem and everything looks good to me. So how we know that you is telling truth? We feel like when you have insurance then the dentist would definitely try to send you to oral surgeon or periodentist like he is getting commision sending patients to them. Also these oral surgeon and periodentist are in the same office as general dentist most of the time.

Diagnosis of oral disease is not always as exact or as consistent as you may expect. Gum health for example runs the spectrum between perfect and dire and the point at which you would classify it as needing treatment varies between dentists.
Maybe you could ask your friends if they have a dentist with a good track record of looking after their teeth and get an opinion from that one.
