Is it normal for the cavity detection wand to show that I have 10 cavities?
I've been going to the dentist regularly and I recently changed to a new dentist because I moved. They use the cavity detection wand that buzzes and gives a number reading when it detects decay in teeth. I currently have 3 fillings in my mouth and it has been years since I've had a cavity. During my visit to the dentist today the person is recommending that I get 10 cavities filled in 9 of my teeth (one tooth has 2 cavities). I brush twice a day, use act mouthwash daily, and floss weekly. I know that I could floss more often, but none of the cavities are between my teeth. The dentist said that my x-rays looked good so it seems that the cavity detection machine is the main source of determining that I have 10 cavities. Is this normal for a dental patient who has never had the cavity detector used before?
I'm planning to get a second opinion but any other advice would be appreciated.
second opinion hands down...
did they take an x-ray? ask for your x-ray (by giving your consent), go to another dentist, show them the x-ray
