Importance of Establishing Trust with your Family Dentist

Your oral health, as well as that of your loved ones, benefits from choosing a dentist that meets the needs of your entire family. Building a foundation of trust helps encourage you and your loved ones to keep your scheduled visits. This regular care helps ensure that you and your family’s oral health remains in good condition.

A comprehensive dentist who gets to know his patients and their unique dental makeup offers continuity of care and maintains a wealth of information about their smiles.

Continuity of Care
No two mouths are the same. When you switch to a new dentist because of a special offer, the new dentist must start at the beginning and take time to learn the unique aspects of your dental patterns and issues.

Your dental records are readily available to your established dentist and should they need to access them, there is no waiting time. A new dentist may have to order these, making the patient wait for another appointment and suffer unnecessarily, or causing the patient to undergo the same procedure twice.

Dental Emergencies
Should a dental emergency arise, finding a dentist who takes new patients may be difficult. When you are an established patient, your emergency is given priority, and you can usually count on the dentist to accommodate you quickly.

Many Dentists and their Staff Truly Consider Patients as Family
When you have established a trusting relationship with your dentist and their team, it’s easier to relax. Knowing your dentist is treating you the same way they would expect their family to be treated helps you build confidence in your dental provider.
