Second Opinion at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey
Second Opinion: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Has dental treatment ever taken you by surprise?
Our Second Opinion Program (SOP) is open to anyone who wishes to have an alternative, honest, and open discussion about a given treatment plan.
Second opinions are valuable when it comes to making decisions that can potentially save you time, effort, or money.
It is only natural that we ask friends and family for their second opinion on almost anything – be it a new restaurant, summer camp for our kids, or even family holidays.
The same applies to our oral health.
Why get a second opinion?
The truth is, there will always be a difference when it comes to treatment proposals and costs. It is important to understand that every dentist is different. We all have unique backgrounds, trainings, and interests. With all these in mind, we believe that it is our responsibility to cut through the confusion and re-establish trust in our profession.

If the pulp becomes infected, the infection may spread through the root canal system of the tooth. This may eventually lead to an abscess. An abscess is an inflamed area in which pus collects and can cause swelling of the tissues around the tooth. The symptoms of an abscess can range from a dull ache to severe pain, and the tooth may be tender when you bite. If root canal treatment is not done, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be taken out.
A mouthwash of medium-hot water with a teaspoonful of salt will help to reduce gum soreness and inflammation (check that it is not too hot before using it). Swish the salt water around the tooth, trying to get into the areas your toothbrush cannot reach. Do this several times a day.
An antibacterial mouthwash containing chlorhexidine can also reduce the inflammation. Pain-relieving tablets such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can also be useful in the short term, but talk to your dental team if the pain continues. The tablets should always be swallowed and not placed on the area.
Dental techniques have improved so much over the last few years that modern dental treatment can now be completely painless. Despite this, most people still feel a little nervous at the thought of going to the dentist. If you have not been to see a dentist for some time, you will probably find that things have improved a lot since your last visit. The general attitude is likely to be more relaxed, the dental techniques and safety procedures will be much better, and the equipment will be more up to date.
It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play sport that involves physical contact or moving objects. This includes: cricket, hockey and football – which can cause broken and damaged teeth; and American football, boxing and rugby – which can all cause broken or dislocated jaws. A mouthguard will help protect against these happening.
