Second opinion: Yes, a second opinion is always a good idea. I'm sure your dentist is doing what he can to be helpful but for your peace of mind it would be good to see someone else also. Sometimes another practitioner has another way of treating something that the patient would be more comfortable with. Pace and good health.
