Read an excellent article in readers digest a few years back. Guy went to 50 dentists in 50 different states. His buddy was a dentist and told him he had 1 bad tooth that needed a filling only. Well, this guy got quotes as high as 25K! Dentists told him he needed full mouth repair and everyone was recommending root canals... dentists used to make money with fillings but today's kids have a significant decline in decay due to fluoride in water. There is no governing body to regulate what they charge or oversee their practice. Moral of the story? Get 2nd opinions and if u find a dentist u like and trust, stick with him!
