A member asked:
I am getting conflicting information among florida dentists if a molar has decay or not. will a cbct settle the issue? will not go for 4th opinion.

3 consultations: If there is decay it is obviously difficult to detect. On a crown margin? On a filling? Virgin tooth? How does the decay (or lack of it) affect the treatment plan in this quadrant? More information regarding your proposed care would go a long way in making an informed decision.
