> The college dentist could also just be wrong

Maybe, but then other dentists I saw after college would also be wrong too.

I think you are hitting a core problem with dentists, is that it is hard to verify and get a second opinion. Since insurance only covers one xray a year, etc. it is more economical for people to just get a filling (maybe $50-$100 with insurance) compared with going out and paying out of pocket for a second exam and xrays ($100-$300).



You can get the xray sent over. Or, like I did once, you can ask for your xray on a flash drive/cd right then and there after they do it.
