Do dentists lie about cavities?

Well, they aren't all villains in a movie! But yes, some might point out 'watch areas' that aren't full cavities yet. If you think they are exaggerating, just ask them to show you the mirror!

Actually, some corporate clinics do try to push extra treatments, yaar. Best option is to go to a trusted family dentist who won't recommend unnecessary fillings.

I had a similar experience where one clinic told me I had four cavities, but my regular dentist said they were just stains! Always go to someone trusted or ask for a second opinion before getting work done.

Haan yaar, kuch business-minded clinics aisa karte hain na. Par saare ek jaise nahi hote. Agar shak ho toh kisi dusre doctor se second opinion le lo.

This thought makes me so anxious every time I sit in the dentist's chair. To feel safe, I always ask them to point out the cavity on the digital X-ray screen before they start drilling. It really helps calm the mind.

I panicked when a new dentist told me I needed three fillings immediately. But when I got it checked by another doctor, they explained those were just tiny surface shadows that didn't need drilling yet. It is totally normal to double-check.
