I had a lot of work done at Dr. Meola's office last spring. This included a root canal and at least 4 cavity fillings. After this work, the Dr. told me that I had another 4 cavities that needed filling but, since my insurance had run out by this time, I had 2 options; I could either pay for the fillings out of pocket or "risk it" and wait until I had coverage again. I decided on the later and yesterday went to ANOTHER dentist office in the area, Gentle Dental, to get x-rays and a check up. I told the Dr. there that I knew I had at least 4 cavities and would need those filled along with anything else that needed to be done. To my surprise and relief, I was told by the Dr. at Gentle Dental that I didn't have ANY cavities and that my teeth looked fine. Cavities do not just go away. I believe Dr. Meola's office exaggerates dental problems for their own profitable gains.
