I am in need of a second opinion regarding the fillings I have an appointment to get in a few days.
I just started going to the dentist again after a few years of not having dental insurance/money to go. I went the first time to a dentist a friend recommended. They told me that I had six cavities that needed to be filled. Unfortunately I could never get an accurate price quote from them for the fillings so I never got them.
Cut to today I went to a different dentist, and they used some sort of laser to check my teeth for cavities. Said device is a lot more sensitive than the pick method so it picked up a crap ton more cavities. I got four filled already and I am set to go back for another five, and I still have two more visits after that to go. I am starting to feel like all the teeth in my head are going to have fillings in them. He even mentioned something about me potentially needing a crown. I am worried I am getting a lot of work done that does not need to be done.
It is of note that none of my teeth hurt, and I take pretty decent care of them. I have never had any of the fillings from when I was a kid replaced, so those do probably need replaced.
Can anyone offer advice on this? Should I get the work done, or am I making a poor choice I will regret?
