If you would like: Sometimes it's necessary to hear what someone else has to say... Problem is, if the treatment plan is slightly different you will become confused, and wonder who you should listen to. Each dentist may treat your mouth slightly differently. If you like your dentist and trust him/her, then go for it.

Get another opinion: If you are asking about a second opinion, you should get a second opinion. Be aware however, that treatments offered by dentists are subjective and if you get 10 dentists to look at your teeth, you could get 10 different treatment plans.
