Ask HN: How to choose which dentist or doctor to believe?

When you get a medical opinion, you have to rely on the medical expertise of doctor. You don't have a better option. If you get a second opinion, and it is the same as the first one, you intuitively know it's more trustworthy. But what happens when the second opinion contradicts the first one? Who do you believe? How do you rank each scenario by the "trustworthiness" of opinion? How would one go by valuing the trustworthiness of multiple differing opinions, as is common in dentistry?
