The dentist you choose should have knowledge, experience, and a dedication to putting you first. In our last blog, we discussed two signs that a dentist isn’t the best option for you. We at Smilepoint Dental have dedicated ourselves to providing the best dental care in Texas, so we have insights into what makes a great dentist.
The dentist doesn’t g over your whole medical history before treating you
Your dental health is connected to the health of the rest of your body. Medications and conditions can change the way your teeth handle treatment. For instance, there is bacteria in your mouth that can affect your heart. Pregnancy sometimes causes gum disease. Diabetes delays healing, which makes procedures like root canals a challenge. A dentist worth trusting will take the time to get to know you before proceeding.
Your dentist reacts negatively to you wanting to get a second opinion
If you are a relatively new patient and your dentist recommends a certain procedure, you should always get a second opinion. A dentist who puts you first will be glad to have you seek second opinions, because his or her main concern will be that you get the best care.
At the end of the day, you can’t afford to have a dentist who doesn’t give you the care you need. Your dental health is incredibly important to your quality of life. Don’t put it in hands of anyone who doesn’t know their stuff backwards and forwards – who doesn’t put you first. Contact us for emergency dentist services and beyond.
