Choosing the right dentist is just as important as any other medical decision you have to make. Good dental hygiene alone is no substitute for regular checkups with a dentist. In your search for the right dentist, you’ll want to start with the basics! Ask yourself these questions:

• Is their office close to your home or work?
• Do they have hours that fit your schedule?
• How do they handle emergency dental care?

Researching Dentists

Now that you’ve gone over some of the basic questions, it’s time to get into the research! You’ll want to check if your dentist is a member of the ADA. The American Dental Association exists to power the profession of dentistry and to assist our members in advancing the overall oral health of their patients. They also have an awesome Find-a-Dentist tool that will allow you to look for dentists by location, name, and specialty!

Another simple resource is to ask the people in your community! Whether it’s your neighbor, friends, or other medical professionals, this will provide you with a good starting list of names you can trust. Once you’ve got your base list, it’s important to spend time and get to know your dentist! At Southridge Dental, Dr. Sean Simper wants to have a great relationship with each one of his patients – this way it feels more like you’re visiting a friend instead of getting a check-up. It’s important that you feel comfortable with your dentist but also that they provide high quality treatment and respect your time.
