One of the most important steps to protect your dental health is finding a dentist that you feel comfortable with.
Choosing a Dentist:
Ask your friends, relatives, neighbours, family doctor and co-workers who they see.
Check the Yellow Pages in the telephone book for a dentist located in your area.
Questions to Ask:
Does the dentist see children?
How does the dentist deal with difficult children?
Are you able to make an appointment at a convenient time? (Evenings and weekends if needed?)
What arrangements are available for emergency services?
Is the dentist willing to work out payment plans? (example, monthly payments)
Does the dentist or staff speak the language you need? (Example French, Chinese, etc.)
