Dental care, Two different dental opinions.
I went to a dentist about three weeks ago because my back molar was starting to hurt me. I have not been to a dentist in a long while so I was well beyond just going for a check up. I was told that I should have five extractions my four wisdom teeth and the back molar that was hurting me because it could not be saved.
Wanting a second opinion since I was told I would need to go to an oral surgeon for the wisdom teeth extraction I went to a different dental office. Where that dentist did agree that I needed to have the one bad molar removed but I did not have to have my wisdom teeth pulled in his opinion. Which dentist is right? Is the first dentist trying to rip me off by referring me to an oral surgeon I when I do not have to have the teeth pulled?

Go to the dentist you feel best about. Opinion is just that not every dentist is going to say the same thing or what would be the point in getting a second opinion.
It does not mean that any one dentist is trying to “Rip you off” Many dentist feel that wisdom teeth should be pulled and a preventive services. That way they do not start causing problems in the future to your other teeth. Were some dentist will address issues as they come.
