The 10 Commandments to Finding the Right Dentist for You and Your Family

Finding a professional dentist whom you can trust for yourself and your family's oral health is as crucial as finding that perfect wedding ring or that ideal home.

Your dentist is going to be working with you and your family for years to come, so it makes sense to take the extra time to ensure you find a dentist who's right for you.

 Now, you can find a quality dentist by following these simple guidelines: 

1. Follow the good old word of mouth recommendations: Ask your dentist how many patients they receive from referrals of other happy patients. Most successful dentists will be happy to share these numbers with you. This is just like your mother or sister recommending a dentist to you.
2. Ask for a free consultation: If your dentist provides quality service, they will happily schedule a free consultation, free examination and much more in order to learn about the benefits of having good oral health and how to achieve it.
3. Keep your eyes and mind open: When you visit the office for your free consultation, look out to see if the office is clean, organized, and sterile
4. Qualification Counts: Look for a dentist that is well qualified and experienced.
5. Education Matters: A dentist's office that is up to date with the technology and has the means to educate you about dental health, speaks a lot about their attitude towards you and your oral health.
6. Availability and Accommodation: A dentist office with flexible and long office hours and weekends to accommodate you at your convenience and work around your schedule. Also, be sure to ask them if they receive emergencies.
7. Don't let them play catch n' throw with you: A dental office that has all specialties under one roof is ideal, so you don't get shuffled between offices and dentists. Go to a dentist office where you can stay comfortably in one place for all your dental needs.
8. It's the entire team that makes a difference: Observe if the staff is caring, attentive, listens to your needs and cares about your comfort and convenience.
9. Giving back to the community and supporting causes: You might wonder how supporting causes affects your service? Well, it is closely associated. A practice that supports social causes and is a part of professional groups that are affiliated with noble causes for the betterment of the society will never cheat you with either their services or prices.
10. Follow the 3 C's: See if the office goes beyond the basic chair and tools to relax you and make you feel at home with Comfort, Care and Convenience. Do they serve fresh beverages, and snacks? Do they have a nice décor, free parking, and soothing music to relax you?

Finding the right dentist is not that difficult but it is a crucial step towards living healthy and continuing to smile as a family. Follow these 10 commandments and you will find your ideal partner in oral health for a lifetime!
