1. Finding a Dentist

2. Finding a dentist shouldn't be a daunting task.
There are plenty of resources available to
you, especially on the internet; and a
quick Google search for Calgary Dentists
will yield a long list of potential candidates
along with reviews and locations as well.
You can access provincial Dental
Association websites for help finding a
qualified and registered dentist in your
area. But finding any dentist and finding
the right dentist for you are not the same
endeavor; so, here are some tips that will
make finding a good dentist easier.

3. If you're planning a move to a new city or within your current city and you want
to find a dentist closer to your home, the first person you can speak to is
your current dentist. S/he will often be able to give you a referral; and
nothing is better than a referral from a trusted dentist. If however your
current dentist cannot offer a referral, you should speak to family members,
friends, coworkers or even other medical professionals about a dentist they
trust.

4. Before you decide on a particular dentist, it will be well worth your time to meet
and interview several potential candidates. Obviously, you want to choose a
dentist with an excellent service history and extensive experience, but you also
want to choose somebody with whom you can build a good rapport. Since
you'll likely be seeing this medical professional at least twice a year for the
foreseeable future, finding a dentist should be as much about personal
comfort as professional skill.
Moreover, visiting potential dentists' offices will allow you to review their facilities.
You can make sure they operate a clean and organized clinic with professional
dental staff. You should also make a list of questions that you would like to ask
such as dentist availability (i.e. will you be able to get an appointment that is
convenient and timely), office hours, services offered, and whether they offer
after hours emergency care. Another factor that will likely determine which
dentist you ultimately choose is whether they will accept your insurance
provider. Some dental offices require that you pay up front, while others will bill
insurance companies directly.
