Number of teeth with caries

2023-05-16 21:03:40
Hi All, I'm very disappointed because of the subjectivity of every dentist in identifying the number of teeths affected with caries. 4 dentists had 4 different opinions. One said it's in just 1 teeth, 2nd said  2, 3rd said :3, 4th said : 4 teeth. Whom should I believe because according to them there is no teat to find it out, it depends on experience.  I'm not sure what to do. PFA(can't attach more than 2), & please advise me what to do P.S. I'm talking about upper teeths coz I have already got the fillings for bottom teeths

Nowadays there are intraoral cameras in dental clinics through which mostly doctors show the lesions/cavity/intraoral pictures to the patients. You can take the help of intraoral camera to check the  number of teeth with caries.(ask your dentist gently to guide and explain/show the teeth with caries).
