Who’s the best dentist to care for your family? The one you and your family trust. Start with your network — your friends, family, and coworkers. The nice thing with coworkers is they are probably under the same insurance plan, so you can be sure your dentist is in network. But ultimately, you need to trust your gut instinct on this. That means visiting your dentist and seeing how comfortable you feel with them. A polite and comfortable demeanor goes a long way. Don’t forget about your kids — how they interact with the dentist and how at ease they are in their presence can be important. If you want to lay a foundation that leads to great dental care, having your kids be comfortable in their office is key.
