In many cases, a person wants a second opinion when he or she lacks confidence in the dentist and has doubts about how to best treat their dental condition. However, in some situations, it is the dentist who suggest getting a second opinion from a dental specialist in order to obtain additional information about a dental problem
Yet there are times when a second opinion is not helpful, such as when they become a third, fourth fifth opinion or more. IF you find yourself doing this then stop and think. Are you getting so many different opinions because you hope to hear a different answer then what the last five dentist have told you? If you keep hearing the same thing from each dentist, but hope to hear something different, when you finally h ear what you want to hear from the next dentist in line it may not be in your best interest
