Well, that's kind of like
asking if all apples are the same. Apples come in different colors.
Apples come in different sizes. Apples come with a variety of
flavors.
So what apple is right for
you? That depends on the situation. Is it a hot summers day and you
just want an apple that will taste good? Or are you looking to make
a pie and need an apple that is good for baking? The answer to these
two questions would lead you to two very different varieties of
apples. Yet they are both still called apples.
The same can be said for
dentists. Every dentist has had to go to a qualified dental school to
get his/her degree. Every dentist has had to take the same national
examinations to prove that they are proficient at certain types of
dentistry. Therefore, anyone that legally can be called a dentist is
pretty much the same thing.
So what dentist is right
for you. Like the apples, that depends on what you are looking for.
If you want convenience then do an internet search for dentists and
you can find the absolute closest dentist to you by mileage. If you
want the cheapest dentist then call dental offices and ask what their
cost is on a certain procedure. You can then find the cheapest
dentist out there.
These factors are the easy
ones. But what if you want a dentist that is good with kids. What if
you want a dentist that has a good cosmetic eye and can not only fix
your teeth but make them look attractive as well. What if you want a
good bedside manner, etc. etc. etc.
These are some of the
tougher ones. For this you need to do a little more homework. Go
online and read reviews. Ask neighbors, friends, and family. Ask to
see before and after pictures of work they have done. Ask if they
have gotten any extra training in any particular aspect of dentistry.
Ask if there are procedures that they choose not to do. Even though
every dentist can do a root canal, some choose not to.
Once you have found all of
this out you can choose which dentist is right for you. Last thing
you want is to take a bite thinking you have a golden delicious and
end up with a granny smith.
