7 Questions You Should Ask Before Choosing Your Dentist
1) What are you looking for? Do you have a specific problem, or are you looking to
find someone to be your general dentist? In most cases, even if you have a dental
problem, such as bleeding gums, a chipped tooth, or a severe toothache, you will
still need to see a general dentist first.
2) How far is your dentist from you, and how long does it take you to get to their
office? In case of an emergency, you should consider how long it would take you
to get there
3) Find out if your dentist works as an emergency dentist? Do they have evening
hours, and are they available on weekends. If you have ever had a severe
toothache on the weekend, you will know how important this is.
4) If you are someone who has dental anxiety, you will want to know if your dentist
practices sedation dentistry. Ask about other options as well. Dentistry continues
to evolve to make the experience comfortable for the patient in the right setting
5) Ask about the dentists clinical experience and training in any procedure you may
require
6) Does he/she do other procedures you may want done, such as teeth whitening, and
other minor cosmetic dentistry? You may want it now, or down the road, so there
is no point in looking for another dentist to do some of these simple procedures.
It is wise to talk to your dentist, and get a sense of their feelings on "cosmetic
dentistry." Some embrace it, others not so much. You want to have someone
working with you that has your best interests in mind, but understands you as a
patient, and person
7) *** Do they accept your dental insurance? What will your out-of-pocket expenses
be? Many people have either no coverage, or poor coverage. Be upfront with the
office staff, so you can find the best situation for you the patient, and you, the
paying customer.
