Get a second opinion.
Let me tell you my story. I have one crown from many years ago and a couple of fillings. My long time dentist retired to travel the world and I needed someone new. I went to someone near by. He took X-rays and immediately recommended I change my crown and a filling too, right away! He showed me my X-rays and pointed out the long vertical shaded areas as THE problem. I don’t know anything about teeth X-rays so I googled it later and made appointment with another dentist for a second opinion. Google indicated that these shaded vertical areas on the teeth are normal. The new dentist took new X-rays I paid twice for the same thing, and the second dentist agreed with google that everything was fine. My teeth still feel good but I am angry at that first dentist. There’ll be lots of input from me about him. (He did the same thing to my husband.)
