Overenthusiastic Cavity Identification?

[Jill Purdy]

I went to the dentist today, I've never had a cavity before in my life, and they told me I had 8 cavities that needed to be filled immeadiately. This shot off warning bells in my head, and I think I see what theyre talking about. However, these dentist have a history of unnecessary diagnoses, including recommending full sets of veneers for one dead tooth, root canals as a precaution. I took a picture of the xrays and I am going to get a second opinion, but a third/fourth/fifth opinion cant hurt.
