There are so many private dentists advertising their services, so what do you need to think about when choosing the right dentist?

Practices do vary, particularly on the number of patients a dentist sees in any one day. Some will see high patient numbers whilst at the other end of the scale, some dentists will generally see low numbers of patients so they can spend longer with each person.

There are the obvious things to look for in good practice such as a polite staff, high standards of cleanliness throughout the practice, availability of appointments and consistency of practitioner to monitor your ongoing dental health but what else should you look for?

Does the dentist use a dental dam? The dental dam is one of the most hygienic and safe ways of providing dental care for routine treatments such as fillings and is particularly important when removing old mercury amalgam fillings and root canal treatments.

It is a simple rubber safety net that is placed around the tooth and prevents you from swallowing any foreign materials allowing you to feel more comfortable. So ask if they routinely use a rubber dam.

As we have all read in the press recently the importance of good gum health cannot be underestimated so make sure the practice has a dedicated hygienist. This treatment should be thorough but not uncomfortable.
