Finding the Perfect Dentist

Selecting the right person to care for your family’s dental health takes careful consideration. A good dentist combines clinical expertise with warmth and genuine concern for patients. Points to consider are as follows:

  • Are your goals, concerns, and ultimate satisfaction seen as important?
  • Can you count on the dentist to focus on keeping your teeth healthy and strong?
  • Did the doctor obtain his degree from a well-respected school?
  • Does the dentist explain things in detail and include you as part of the team?
  • Has the dentist been in practice for long enough for you to feel comfortable about your treatment?
  • Have you heard positive feedback about this doctor and practice?

Questions about General Dentistry

Why do I need to visit every six months if I don’t have any problems?

Preventative care is less expensive than repairing damage. Certain problems, like gum disease and early signs of decay, offer few warning signs. Regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health and catch any issues before they become big trouble.

How is a filling different from a crown?

Made from composite resin, tooth-coloured fillings replace decay that only impacts a portion of the tooth. With severe damage, you will likely need a dental crown, which fits securely over the remaining tooth structure and completely covers the tooth.

When should my child first visit the dentist?

Although the Canadian Dental Association recommends starting visits when children get teeth, usually at age one, we often find that kids do best around three years old. At this time, the doctor can take a look to make sure everything is on target, and we can start to create positive feelings for your child so that he or she will look forward to visiting the dentist.

I have metal fillings. Should I replace them?

At one point in time, amalgam fillings were the standard for restoring teeth. Now, most dentists prefer composite fillings. These fillings match your natural tooth colour, wont leak over time, and don’t contain any metal. If your old fillings aren’t causing you problems, you can choose to leave them in place, but if you want more aesthetic restorations, talk with your doctor about composite fillings as a replacement option.
