Case Description
I am not sure but my 2nd molar(I don't think I have wisdom teeth yet...) is pretty much falling apart. It is missing like half and another piece fell out last night. I think I may have had a filling there a long time ago but I am not very sure. I can see with some mirror that it looks a bit like its decaying(of course). No pain or major issues, its just annoying me now, its only sensitive if i touch the gum(?). Please advise I don't have any medical coverage yet I am working student. I'm wondering what would need to be done, so I can see if a dental discount plan is good enough. If available, please provide names of dentists who are patient, I have a problem sitting still for periods of time. I hate bitewings, I would like info on the other form of X-ray if its available in this instance including cost. Thanks, Crystal

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
