Hi, I have developmental abnormality in my jaw. I have difficulties chewing and moving jaw muscles. My doctor said that metal implants are the only thing that can help me. I read about this a lot, and I decided to visit some other doctor for the second opinion. This one told me that I’m too young for metal implants, and that I should have a surgery using body tissue from my own bones. I am completely confused now, and I don’t know what to do. Should I get a third opinion?
Hi, I know how it feels when you get different advices from different doctors. You don’t know whom to trust and what to do. It’s a great burden when you have to make a decision on your own. I think you should get a third opinion, why not? If it doesn’t help you either, get the fourth. This is about your health and life quality, so don’t be embarrassed to ask as many doctors as you need. You have a very important surgery, so make sure that you’ll make a right decision. Good luck!
