Of course: In many cases, seeking a second opinion is not only warranted, but necessary. Unless your disease is life threatening and requires emergency care, it is never a bad idea to seek a second opinion. Getting a second opinion helps you feel more confident about your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Great idea: Patients need to be comfortable with the treatment recommendations of their doctors. A second opinion will give you the opportunity to hear another dentist's viewpoint. All the best with your dental rehabilitation....
