Regular cleanings and checkups are part of your first line of defense against dental health issues, so naturally you want to have the best dentist possible. What should you look for? If you’re new in town, or have been looking around for a new dentist, The Gentle Art of Dentistry in Houston TX suggests the following.
- Location and Office Hours: It’s a little like real estate: location, location, location! Choosing a dentist that is near to where you live or work is important, since it makes it easier to make and keep your appointments. On the other hand, it is not the only consideration; some dentists may be worth driving a little further. Their office hours may be better suited to your schedule. our practice serves the East Spring, West Cypress, and Klein areas!
- Chairside Manner: This is one of the more important considerations. You want to feel comfortable with the person you are trusting with your smile. Do they explain any symptoms you have, and procedures they want to do? Do they listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions? Our team always prioritizes direct patient communication and an empathetic tone.
- Qualifications: You can get information about a dentist’s qualifications from your local dental society or your insurer. It’s also a good idea to see what special awards or memberships your dentist may have. Dr. J. Scott Anderson is a member of the American Dental Association, as well as a host of other prestigious organization. He has been helping patients smile for years!
