Usually a good idea to get a second opinion. I had a major pain in one of my teeth a few years ago. I went to a dentist, they had diagnosis in 20 minutes: the tooth is broken, needs to be extracted and implant was recommended.

Somehow I got into other dentist through my friend recommendation. They referred me to their endodontist and they said there is no break in tooth bone. After doing root canal and crown, a few years later I'm happy with having my biological tooth and crown with zero pain and saved a good few grands.

Always get a second opinion.
