2. Choosing a Dentist
For successful dental care it is important
to have a family dental specialist who
takes a true enthusiasm toward the
patient's general health. It makes sense
to select and get familiar with a dental
practitioner before a dental emergency
arises. If you are a subscriber to one of
the newer dental profit modalities, for
example, dental HMO's and capitation
plans you are likely to discover this
aspect of selecting a conscientious
dentist a particular challenge.
3. Specialty Areas in dentistry include:
Endodontics -- root canal therapy
Oral Surgery/Oral Pathology -- the identification and removal of
teeth or tissues from the oral cavity.
Orthodontics -- braces and the repositioning of teeth.
Pedodontics -- care exclusively for children and teens.
Periodontics -- care of gums and supporting tissues.
Prosthodontics -- dentists specially trained for full mouth
rehabilitation.
4. Before selecting a family dentist, you
may want to consider several
Contact a local dental specialist, such as an oral surgeon, for a
referral.
Speak to your family physician or local pharmacist.
Ask friends, neighbors, co-workers, clergy, etc. to recommend a
dentist.
Speak to faculty members of dental schools in your area.
Call or write a nearby hospital that has an accredited dental
service.
Check the ADA directory, which can be found in many public
libraries and in all dental school libraries.
5. Reducing your Dental Bills
The way to reducing dental costs is prevention. There is a
considerable measure that you can do to avoid serious dental
issues. Customary dental checkups are an essential part of
any anticipation program. If you see your dentist consisitently,
any dental issues you have can be treated in their initial
stages. If you see a dental specialist only in an emergency,
when you already have a serious issue, treatment may be
much more costly. In the long run, nothing is more economical
than the general dental checkup.
