 [ Symptoms ] a dds told me that i needed my tooth reconstruction after i entered my delta dental insurance data on new patient form the second dds told me that i did not need reconstruction after checking my tooth and all of dental x rays both dds have 25+ years dental experience as a dds and both were graduated from good dental school and have teeth implant licenses the second dds also told me that the dental school professors taught their students should not harm the patient is healthy tooth [ Disease ] unfortunately it is not uncommon to get differing opinions from different clinicians there is no easy answer here about what to do you did not mention whether you went to the dentist specifically because you were having a problem with this tooth or if the dentist initiated the conversation after doing an exam and entering your insurance information if the tooth has never bothered you that would give me pause i might consult a third dentist if you are very concerned to see if you can get more information about what is going on
