I was going to wait to post this, until I got a second opinion but will do it now and apologise later if needs be.
I went to Franco Dental right near the border and saw DDS Evangelina Robles who cleaned my teeth. After the cleaning she said I had 12 cavities, needed a crown replaced and wanted to pull my one remaining wisdom tooth.
It's been 1 1/2 years since my last dental visit and I've had 2 cavities in my teens.(I'm 49) It's possible that I suddenly developed 12 cavities but... I'm very suspicious, thus I need to get a second opinion. As to the crown, no obvious signs that I can tell that anything is wrong with it. The wisdom tooth she wants to extract was left on purpose because it's placement and angle make extracting it complicated and possibly damaging to nearby teeth according to my dentist.
If I find out that I do in fact have 12 cavitites I'll repost(although if my health is declining that fast I might not make it to the keyboard!)
