The word dentist alone can leave many shaking in their boots. For some this is due to a bad experience in the past, for others it may just be a fear of the unknown. Dental care is important for your overall health and there is truly nothing to fear.
We recommend several areas to focus on when selecting a dentist you can partner with to achieve great oral health:
- Credentials: Contact your local or state dental society about the dentist you are considering. The ADA provides a list of local and state dental societies on its web site, www.ada.org. Ask the important questions such as: Where was the dentist educated?
- Recommendations: Friends, family or a family doctor are often the best resource for a dental recommendation.
- Service: Does the dentist offer family friendly hours? Is the staff helpful and understanding?
- Payment: Is your insurance accepted? Is cost information on fees and services readily available to patients?
Most importantly, take the time to see if the dentist is a good fit for you. It is important that you feel like you can easily talk with your dentist and feel like you are being listened to throughout each conversation.
