What do you look for in a dentist?

Posted on at


Don't feel bad if you're currently between dentists. Maybe you've moved to a new city or your dentist has retired. Many people fall out of the habit of proactive dental care. The important thing is that you're looking for one now. Hopefully you've been brushing, flossing, and watching your sugar intake during your dental sabbatical.

Most people want to find a dentist near their home or work and this is something that we definitely encourage. You're more likely to make your appointments and follow-ups if it's easy for your schedule. If you're really engaging with your dental care and following their orders for your daily maintenance, then you'll be able to easily fit your checkup into a lunch break- they won't need to spend too much time removing plaque!

 Do you have any special dental needs? Some people grew up without fluoridated water or a regular dental care routine and need some restorative dental work. Others may have a history of gum disease or delayed orthodontia. You can find a dentist that specializes in the type of dentistry that you need. If you are taking the steps to get dental care then you should find the most-appropriate care for your individual

 

Do you work irregular hours or have obligations that prevent you from making appointments at what some consider to be normal times? You're not alone and more dentists are aware of this than ever. You can find a dentist that opens early, stays open late, or is open on weekends. We just learned of a dentist in Indiana who is open 24 hours per day!
