Do I really need another filling? Is my dentist being honest? Is Diagnodent accurate?
Last month I went to my usual dentist, and he found a cavity that needed filling, by detecting a very slight stick with his explorer. I was a little skeptical because he was pretty quick, it didn’t seem to stick much, and nothing showed up on the x-ray. So, I decided to try another dentist [...]
