And this brings up the question, "What should I look for in a good dentist?" Well, getting great dental care doesn't have to be as painful as getting a half a dozen teeth pulled without being anesthetized first. In fact, if you follow a few solid suggestions, you can make the process a fairly painless one. Here are a few tips to help you on your way: Convenience -- probably obvious, but here you'll want to look at operating hours, location and accessibility. You'll be more likely to keep regular dental visits if the office is in a convenient location to you. Also, in any urgent situations, you won't need to drag yourself half way across town. Having hours that work with your typical schedule also make it more like for you to keep your regular appointments. Environment -- Is the office clean? Is there good lighting? Are the staff courteous and helpful? You can get a pretty good gauge of these things with a brief visit and chat. Lighting is mentioned because without decent lighting, the work of maintaining your smile and keeping your teeth in good health is a lot more difficult. Communication -- a good dentist will readily discuss treatment options with you. They should also be able to answer any questions you have about your teeth, particularly anything beyond your normal care and maintenance topics. Equipment -- while they don't need to have the latest equipment, a good dentist will work with tools that are up to date. If you have any concern about this, be sure to ask and get solid reassurance that equipment is up to standard. Pricing -- is obviously important consideration, and while there may be the temptation to find the cheapest, the saying "you get what you pay for" often applies to dental services as well. If you do go with a lower cost dental practice, then it would be a good idea to get some references. If the business has been operating for a decent period of time and has a healthy roster of returning clients that should provide some assurance. However, the bottom line remains, do your homework. This applies at the top end too. Just because a dental practice charges premium prices, doesn't necessarily mean that the service and care is premium. Again, check out references. Some red flags you want to watch for: If a dental office seems heavy handed with promotion of cosmetic dentistry procedures, buzz treatments or overly flashy advertisements, you may want to think twice about trusting your dental health here. In a similar vein, if the office sells 'related' products such as vitamins and dietary supplements, you would probably be better off going elsewhere. These situations only serve to distract from the real service you want and need from them which is dental care. A dental office that focuses on providing dental care is what you want and what your teeth deserve. The above should give you some guidance on what to look for and what to ask when looking for a good dentist. It is not meant to be definitive and you should take the time to find a dentist that works well with you, one who puts your dental care first.
