Will 2018 find you living in a new neighborhood or a new city or state? When you are looking for a dentist, it’s easy to let the decision overwhelm you. Forming a relationship with a dentist you trust is important for the regularly scheduled things (like checkups and cleanings). It’s also important to know who to call for a worrisome toothache or a true dental emergency. Finding that just-right dentist is important. It won’t take long to move from being the “new patient” to being a familiar face.
Get Out A Map
Most of us don’t want to drive an hour or two for dental visits. If you have moved to an unfamiliar area, consult a map to see which streets and towns are nearby. Check out the subway system, or where the bus stops, if that will be your primary mode of transportation. When your dentist is convenient to your home or office, you are more likely to make (and keep) those vital six-month check ups. Regular professional dental cleanings means tartar can be removed from your teeth, and problems can be spotted and addressed early.
Ask a Friend or Colleague
Neighbors, friends and business associates are excellent sources for dental referrals. If you see someone with a bright, attractive smile, ask them for their dentist’s name and number.
Check Out Reviews
Look online for testimonials from patients. Some dental offices provide reviews or testimonials, so new patients can read about other patients’ experiences.
