Re: Differing dental reports

Ok, fair enough. However, in an earlier reply I indicated that the
dentists in question only agreed on one tooth. To be specific:

Dentist A:
#2 Crown
#18 Crown
#19 Crown
#30 Crown
#31 Crown

Dentist B:
#3 Filling 3 surface
#4 Filling 3 surface
#18 Crown

Please tell me what I or anyone else, is to make of that. This is
science? Ok, maybe their keeping mental notes on what can wait. IMO ,
that's wrong, any issues they're aware of should be clearly made known
to the patient. Now I am going put dentist B on the spot( I just
recieved his faxed report yesterday). He may not like it, but I will
get an explanation to my satisfaction.

"I But, the difference between 5 crowns and one crown plus 4 big
fillings is tiny. the difference
between 5 crowns and one crown plus two tiny fillings is huge. The
difference between 5 crowns, and one crown now, 2 large fillings now,
and
mentally watching 2-3 other teeth to see if they show signs of stress
or
cracking is tiny. "
