Speaking as the son of a former Dentist who could have retired very wealthy if he chose to overtreat prople, I will tell you absolutely, question anything and everything your dentist proposes if it feels wrong to you.
I have a friend who went to another dentist ONCE, and was set up for a program that would have cost close to $7,000 if followed. He ended up having my dad do the work for around $ 1500 dollars and had ALL of his problems fixed and fixed well.
Remember Root canal and crown is now the treatment for the same things addressed by a single surface filling 30 years ago. Most of them just want to do cosmetic dentistry and send you to a specialist for everything else.
If you have an old school dentist who's major effort is to provide you with reasonable and well thought out care, you are very lucky in these times.
