[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7630684, member: 20564"] I am placing no trust in the either dentist. Trying to claim otherwise is trying to rationalize away my point because it doesn't match what you want to be true. There, you have proof that part of what the first dentist told you is a lie. That's fantastic. I had missed that they said insurance wouldn't pay, not just that this is what they thought you medically required and they'd be doing moving forward. At this point, in you are in the US you should report them to your insurance and take them to court. That is illegal and you can probably recover all of what you paid and possibly punitive damages. So you are saying that after 20 years without care, there is no chance that you had gum disease? With the proof being that after one dentist (claimed to) dealt with it and then continued on a 3 month schedule of cleanings that another dentist several years later doesn't seeing it. I don't have faith in either dentist, you seem to have absolute faith in the second one. Case 1: Mechanic 1 was soaking you. You go with mechanic 2, save $2350. Happiness. Case 2: Mechanic 2 misses an issue (or is willing to put down your previous mechanic to get the business and your regular oil changes.) You spend $150, and two months later the car breaks down at on the highway and the bill is $10000 (repairs plus people hurt). Unhappiness. I think both of these cases are possible. Absolutely. I don't trust the first one either. [I]But if you have two professionals saying very different things, that does not guarantee that the cheaper one is the one in the right.[/I] Or that the truth isn't somewhere between. [/QUOTE]
