This dentist recommends crowns for EVERY patient, and that is not always the best treatment, I got a second opinion and it turned out I didn't need the 2 more root canals and the 2 crowns he said I would, and I haven't had a toothache in those teeth in 2 years, my new dentist is monitoring them. My friend who recommended him also has a mouth full of crowns. He is quick to prescribe the most expensive and painful procedures every time.
