That's a scary read. At 53 I've had my share of dental work and sometimes have gotten second, even third opinions to make an informed decision.

When I was a teenager my Orthodontist passed away in the middle of treatment, the Doc that took over the practice essentially started over at the expense of my parents. I had metal bands on for 5 years which resulted in decay under the bands and grooved enamel around the band edges. My Dentist finally demanded the Orthodontist remove the bands for health reasons. The expense to restore was about the cost of the orthodontia.

Fortunately I have both a great dentist and an awesome Perio on my team.
