Two dentists with two differing opinions. who do i listen to?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hard to say...: Both dentists can look at your condition and decide to treat it differrently... That's the very broad lattitude that is given to healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating a problem. Can't possibly tell you who to listen to, since we don't even know what your problem is and what each of them is recommending!

Different opinions: Which dentist has the most experience and training? Who comes highly recommended and by whom? Who do you trust more regarding the referral? Which dentist explained the choices better and why he\she recommends it? What makes more sense to you? What is your gut feeling? Did either dentist show you pictures of their own before and after cases? Which one seems to care more about you? Third opinion?
