I am confused. I have been looking for a good dentist and have visited 4 of them over the past few years. Two say my teeth are fine and I don't need anything done except having them cleaned. Two gave me a list of things that needed to fixed due to superficial cracks. Due to these superficial cracks they want to replace the metal fillings with composite. I actually went back to one of the dentists (not around here) who said I didn't need anything done and told them that another dentist where I live had wanted to replace a lot of the fillings because of cracks. He said not to.

How do you determine which is the right thing to do? How do you know if some dentists are just looking for things to fix to make money? Or are they really trying to prevent a problem down the road? It seems some dentists are more proactive (fix something that may become a problem in the future) and others are more reactive (fix it if it does break).

Sometimes you have something worked on that is not bothering you and then it becomes a problem. I just don't know what to do. Anyone have opinions or stories about what happened to them?
