What to Look for When Choosing Your Child's Dentist

Visit the dentist office in advance of scheduling your child’s appointment. The office should be conveniently located in a nice, clean, busy, and safe neighborhood.

Once you enter the office, the receptionist should be warm and inviting as she greets you, as should the rest of the staff. And the office should be fresh, clean, and free of dust and clutter. The rooms should be well lit and the equipment should appear to be in good working condition. And, is the practice busy or is the staff just standing around?

Notice the people who are waiting. Do the parents appear to be happy and relaxed and the children sitting quietly or are they yelling and crying.

After you have decided on a dentist for your child, it is time to schedule the appointment. Does the receptionist sound friendly and happy, or does she sound upset?

On the day of your appointment, does your child have to wait for long periods of time although they have an appointment? An acceptable wait time is 15 minutes at the most. And once your child makes it to the back, there shouldn’t be lots of patients still waiting to be seen by the dentist. Never visit a dentist office in which you are not allowed to be with your child while they are being seen.

Does the staff member performing the work appear knowledgeable about the procedures and of the equipment or does it seem to be taking to long for them to get things situated?

After your child has seen the dentist, check the condition of their teeth. Does their mouth seem clean and free of cavities? If they can’t perform the work that your child needs, do they give you a referral?
