These professionals are also well trained to know their limitations and to know when to refer complex or more difficult cases to a Dental Specialist as an oral surgeon. It is always wise and recommended to see a general practitioner first who would give you options including a visit to a specialist if requested or necessary.

Always ask yourself or the general dentist: Would this referral be to an Independent Specialist with good reputation and a good record or to a specialist providing the services in the same clinic where you are having your first consultation?

Dental Costs and Prices in Australia are already very high incurring in terrible consequences for the general population that struggle to afford Dental Health. 

It is again advisable to always discuss all your options with the dentist first and if appropriate ask for a referral to see an Independent Specialist with his or her own different clinic.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before Proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriate qualified health practitioner.
