Title: One dentist found a ton wrong that another one didn't?
Post by: FordkuGK on February 25, 2026, 08:32:24 AM: I'm very confused. About a year ago one of my pre molars broke in half. They said I could get a root canal and a crown put on or pull it. Fast forward to just a few days ago, I go get a second opinion on what I should do as I don't want it to get infected and cause more problems. Anyways, this particular dentist which was more thorough than the other finds all kinds of stuff wrong. He says the broken tooth, needs to be pulled as there isn't enough to attach a crown to. He says I need a root canal on the same exact tooth on the other side, and about 3 fillings done. He referred me to an oral surgeon and an endodontic for the root canal. What I don't understand is why didn't the first dentist mention all this? They took xrays. We're probably talking about $6-$7k once the surgeon and orthodontist gets paid. The dentist alone wants $3500 The only thing I can think of is maybe the first dentist thought that's all I was worried about?

I guess I could always just have both pre molars pulled out and then keep an eye out and make sure they don't start shifting around. Tooth number 13 and 4

Opinions? I almost think I need a third opinion now. All I wanted was a simple tooth pulled, and everytime you go to a dentist they want to do a whole exam, then tell you they don't pull teeth. This second dentist lied to me as I asked if they did tooth extractions before I even set up the appointment.

The prices were way lower than what I was quoted in the States, and the 3D digital setup made the whole process quicker. If you’re thinking about dental work abroad, they made it pretty easy to plan the trip and get good care without blowing my budget.
