Reply To: Unnecessary Dentist procedures

There are lots of cheap and short-term dental fixes that wind up lasting a long time, but the majority of short-term dental fixes wear out more or less when the dentists expect. If you get lucky with a short-term fix that lasts for years, it does not mean that your dentist gave bad advice or was dishonest – he/she is probably following the collective wisdom of a learned profession. My spouse settled for a cheap short-term fix, and a few years later she lost the tooth. A permanent, more expensive fix whould have saved the tooth and the costs of some extensive oral surgery.
