How to Find a New Dentist

Who are you going to trust with your teeth?

Whether you are new to town, your dentist has retired, or you simply aren't pleased with your current dentist, finding a new dentist can be daunting. Here are some steps to help you on your search for a new dentist.

Instructions

1. Ask your friends, family and coworkers for recommendations and warnings. Most people are happy to share their suggestions and horror stories.

2. Go online. Check out your insurance company's website, or the American Dental Association website for a list of dentists in your area.

3. Once you have compiled a list of nearby dentists, check out the Doctor Roogle website for ratings and reviews of dentists by normal folks just like you.

4. Once you have narrowed your options down to one or two dentists, call or stop by and tell them you are seeking a new dentist. See if they will provide you with a tour of the office and answer any questions you might have.

5. Think you have found a dentist you like? Set up an appointment for a new patient exam. This will help you determine if this is the right dentist for you.
