Recently you may have been proposed a dental treatment which you certainly need, but in today's economy would be impossible to pay for. Your dentist may have explained to you the necessity of it and you probably feel that he is right. Some treatments unfortunately have no substitute; you cannot negotiate the condition of a tooth which needs a root canal. For example, in more lucky instances however, a different dental approach can save you lots of money and still deliver an dentally acceptable result. How do you go about this?
First, you should ask your dentist about an alternative treatment and analyze carefully with him the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages toward the initially proposed treatment. Another possibility would be to obtain a second opinion. What is a second opinion? It is the qualified advice by another dentist (in this case) after examining you and listening to your concerns. Could the second opinion lead to the same treatment recommendation? In many cases, yes; then you know that you have no other choice. If you are lucky, there will be another solution which will satisfy the dental need as well as your budget.
