Dentist Direct Dubai, a UK-based expert in dentistry with a holistic approach to oral health, offers free ‘Second Dental Opinion’, aimed at ensuring patients make the right decision for their dental treatment.
 
Seeking a second opinion on a dental situation especially on a complex problem gives patients the confidence they need to know that they are making the right decision. Many things can affect the decision making process for example - language barrier – not only from a regional variation, but also how much medical terminology is used, costing, and location of the clinic. It is particularly important that patients full understand the implications and potential benefits and risks of any treatment they commit to. This is known as “informed consent” and it is vital that one fully understands what is involved in a procedure before going ahead.
 
In some situations, it is the dentist who requests a second opinion from a dental specialist in order to obtain additional information about a dental problem. Second opinions are important because they may confirm, refute or clarify the situation. They may also offer several options to a patient that they may find more appealing or appropriate in planning their personal journey. Sometimes there is more than one “right answer” and only you can decide then what is best for your mouth.  If you are uncomfortable with a diagnosis, trust your gut. Learn why it can be important to get the feedback of more than one dentist.
