Questions to Ask Your Dentist
in Buffalo, Amherst, Lancaster and Orchard Park, NY
At the Forestream Dental Group in Buffalo, N.Y. we know that selecting a new dentist for your family can be a daunting process. Which dentists are in your insurance plan? Are there any near your home or work locations? Which ones have a good chairside manner, for both adults and children? Does the dentist receive continuing education on the latest dental techniques?
You can ask friends and co-workers for recommendations but in the end, the choice is up to you. Sometimes the best thing to do is make an appointment and interview, if you will, your potential new dentist.
We've compiled a list of questions that we think are important to ask when you're considering a new dentist or when you're considering a complex procedure with your current dentist. Feel free to print this page and take it with you to your next appointment or even to add questions of your own.
