How do I know whether or not to trust what the dentist says?\u00a0 Mila<\/p>\n<p>Mila \u2013 You can ask friends and family members for references to a dentist whom they already trust. You can check patient reviews, too.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\">dentist<\/a> you visit should provide you with treatment options\u2014not just a single treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/reviews.html\">Patient reviews<\/a> may give you added confidence about the dentist.<\/p>\n<p>If major dental work is recommended, and you\u2019re seeing a dentist with whom you are not familiar, we suggest that you get a second opinion. You can have another dentist, outside of the practice, examine your teeth and let you know what treatment he or she suggests.<\/p>\n<p>If you have dental insurance, it will likely provide coverage for a second opinion. But an examination fee for a second opinion may be well worth it to help you make a decision regarding which treatment you will choose.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\">Plano dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have two fillings that fell out and I have a third tooth that needs so much filling there will be more tooth than filling.
