Healthy teeth and gums go a long way in contributing to your overall health and add to your confidence. To ensure that you have a healthy mouth, it is important to get a family dentist and schedule regular visits to the dental clinic. Having a family dentist also helps you establish a relationship with the person who in turn makes you feel more comfortable with your dentist being aware of your individual needs and preferences, anxieties & allergies.

Dentistry can be broadly classified into two categories-General & Cosmetic

General dentistry adopts more of a preventive approach. It includes dental cleanings, check -ups, oral cancer screening and in depth gum care –all aimed at helping you retain that healthy smile. General dentistry includes procedures as scaling and polishing, fillings, fissure-sealants, extractions, root canal treatment, wisdom tooth extraction, dentures and more.

Cosmetic dentistry on the other hand aims at improving a person’s overall appearance and smile, improving self-confidence. Speak to your cosmetic dentist to know more about full mouth rehabilitation and smile makeovers.

Are you suffering from a sore tooth? Looking for a dentist in Emerald? Here are some points you need to keep in mind before finalizing a dentist.

Location of the clinic: Your dental clinic should preferably be located close to your home or office so that you make it on time for your appointments.

Timings: What are the timings of the clinic? Do they match your schedule?

Get referrals: Ask your friends and colleagues for references. You may want to call up the clinic and enquire about your requirements. It is even better if you can schedule an appointment and drop in for a first-hand experience about the dentist and assisting staff.

Overall Ambience of the clinic: How comfortable do you feel at the clinic? Are the staffs friendly? Remember it is extremely important that you feel completely at ease with your dentist and he/she treats your mouth as that of a friend.

ADA certified Dentist: Make sure you go for an Australian Dental Association certified dentist. Also enquire about the skills, attitude and experience of your dentist. You may also want to speak to patients about their experience before taking a final call.

Emergency Handling: What is the emergency policy of the dentist? What are the alternatives available in case there is an emergency in the middle of the night or on a weekend or holiday?

Mode of payment accepted: Find out beforehand about what all different payment methods as credit card, checks, bank transfer or more that your shortlisted dental clinics accept.
