Are You Looking for a New Dentist? Discover Four Things You Might Want to Confirm Before You Settle On an Option

June 14, 2021


If you are in the market for a new California dentist, you will have options. At California Dental Group, we recommend that you carefully consider the dentists near you and that you confirm the following four things as they apply to you. If you have questions or want to book an appointment, contact us at (800) 407-0161 for help.

  1. They Take Your Insurance
  2. First and foremost, if you have dental insurance, then you should make sure that they accept the insurance you have. If you find the perfect dentist and find out that they do not take your insurance, then you have not found the perfect dentist after all. You can call the dentist in question to confirm that they take your insurance, or you can call your insurance to confirm the same information.

  3. They Offer Honest Advice
  4. Some people are blessed with genetically healthy teeth and gums. Others can brush and floss exactly right, visit the dentist every six months, and still end up with cavities and other issues. Then there are most people who fall somewhere in between these two extremes.

    You want a dentist who will tell you the truth. This means that if your oral health is poor, they will give you an honest assessment and all the facts you need to make the right choice on how to proceed. However, you do not want a dentist that will suggest procedures just to make some money.

  5. They Can Treat Other Issues Like Sleep Apnea
  6. Many people are shocked to learn that more than 22 people in the United States suffer from sleep apnea. They are further surprised to learn that the dentist is often the first person to diagnose and treat this potentially serious condition. If you do not snore or have other symptoms of sleep apnea, then this might not apply to you. If it does, choose a dentist that can help.

  7. They Can Work with Everyone in Your Family
  8. If you have children, then you will want to choose a dentist who can see children. Remember that even if you do not currently have children, if you plan to down the road, then it is best to choose a family dentist off the bat. The goal here is to create a long-term relationship with a dentist you can trust. Choosing one that can grow with your family is best.
