Smile Like You Mean It
Isn't it amazing that you can walk in to a dentist's office with a small gum infection and walk out an hour later with them telling you that you need $1000 of dental work. Can it be true? Is it a scam? What do you think?

they have been telling me to get my wisdom teeth out for years and I never have. a second opinion might be in order, or a policy of waiting until you're in unbearable pain (which hopefully never happens).

I follow the unbearable pain philosophy... but it doesn't always work out so well. (And it drives Mel crazy!)

When they told me I needed my wisdom teeth removed, I was totally unaware there was a problem. I was insured, so it wasn't a big deal as far as the cost went. And the drugs were pretty good.
But the stitches were bitches and made me wonder if the whole thing was just a big scam as well.
...what Andrea said. Get a second opinion.

I have patients walk in to my office to have their hearing tested thinking that their only problem is that their wives mumble and walk out after being told that they need $2000.00 hearing aids, so yes, I can believe it!
Do you have good dental insurance? If so, I wouldn't hesitate, if not, maybe get a second opinion.
