Trust Your Gut
I had been going to the same dentist for twenty years until my insurance changed two years ago. I was forced to choose another provider. I made an appointment with a neighborhood dentist and went for a visit. He examined my teeth and said that he was not happy with one of my crowns. I thought that was odd as It was just put on six months prior and it felt fine. He did a prior authorization for a new cap. I left the office and did not feel that his opinion was correct. I never went back. My insurance reverted back to my old plan again and yesterday I went to my regular dentist. He took xrays and did the exam and said that everything looked great. I told him the story of the other dentist and asked him why I would be told I needed a new crown. He got the xrays and sat down next to me. He went over each tooth showing me that it was fine. He showed me the crowned tooth and how it was perfectly set in. I thanked him for explaining. I was glad that I went with my gut feeling and never replaced a good crown, but sad that someone had to resort to lying to make more money.
