Have any of you gotten 2nd and 3rd opinions only to find they don't all agree? I started seeing a new dentist on January. Previous to that I supposedly was not having any issues. Since January I have had 8 cavities and an infection. The 8 cavities, 1 had to have a crown. I started root canal treatment yesterday. Prior to that I got several opinions. The new dentist said infection, 2nd opinion said possible necrosis, and 3rd opinion said infection but could be osteomyelitis. Still need root canals, but may not work and time would tell. I went ahead with root canal, but I am still so unsure of really what the issue is. Dentist who did root canal did look at CT the Oral surgeon did..He said that the infection may have spread from original tooth. I was antibiotics. If infection spread while on antibiotics wouldn't I need stronger?

I also asked Oral surgeon about HBO. He said since I had it in 2010, I wouldn't need it again. I know that's not true. I have talked with my HBO Dr and waiting on a call back from her office to schedule an appt to determine if HBO is needed. She believes I do. So frustrating when they all don't agree.

Nice to see many of you again .
