Most of us only get one set of adult teeth (although believe it or not there are some people who, through a fluke of genetics, grow an extra set of teeth later in life!), so it pays to look after them. If you are lucky you will find a good dentist early in your life and stick with them through adulthood. That dentist will serve you and your family, ensuring that you get the best dental care from someone you trust. However, if you move to a new area, you may find yourself wondering how to find a dentist that will take good care of your teeth.

The American Dental Association has published a lot of information for patients on things like how to find a dentist, how to take care of your teeth and the teeth of your children, and how to find emergency care if you have dental problems out of hours, or while you are away from home.

You can find lists of dentists online at the website of the American Dental Association. Try to find a dentist that is both located close to you, and has suitable opening hours. If you need to take time off work, or take your kids out of school, in order to visit the dentist then you are more likely to put off appointments. In addition, try to find a dentist that is on the approved list for your medical insurance, so that you don't end up out of pocket for every visit. If you know that you have a pre-existing medical condition, or that your children are likely to need braces or cosmetic dentistry, then you should look for a dentist that offers those services.

Another thing to consider is the dentist themselves. It is a rare person indeed who enjoys visiting the dentist, but you can make the trip a little less unpleasant if you find a dentist that you get along with. If you are nervous about dental visits, talk to the dentist first and see if they can put your mind at ease. It may be that you need to visit a few dentists in your area to find one that you like working with.

If you have children, try to find a dentist that is used to working with them, and that has a child-friendly waiting room. Do not underestimate the importance of simple treats such as toys in the waiting room and stickers for good behaviour during the dental appointment. A good dentist can make your children take pride in looking after their teeth.

Now that you know how to find a dentist, it is important you follow through on that knowledge and take good care of your teeth. Preventative dental care is the most important kind of care. If you wait until you have a dental emergency to seek assistance then you will most likely end up needing painful and expensive care for a problem that could otherwise have been avoided.
