Should I have a 2nd opioion regarding fillings?

[geek84]

Hi Folks
Recently when I visited my dentist for a routine check up, he suggested that I need my back teeth filling. However, I cannot see anything wrong with those teeth.
Do you think the dentist is suggesting that I may have problems in the future if I don't have the filling done, or is it a way for him to make more money out of me?
Should I go to another dentist to get a second opinion?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

This forum is for people that are nervous/phobic about visiting their dentist and getting work done really, but to answer your question.

It depends on how much you trust your dentist, do you think he has your well being at heart?

If you are worried about his advice than get a second opinion, if you are in the UK and getting nhs treatment, I doubt it very much.

You need to discuss this matter with him further.

GOOD LUCK
