I do not agree at all with the logic "the X dentist is my friend".

Friend and therapist are two separate things. When these two are confused they usually lead to unpleasant developments.

The recommendation from an acquaintance we trust is a "safe" choice to give a new dentist a chance, trying something else, because that way we will have a measure of comparison. We do not choose a doctor on a cost basis.

Here the popular saying "cheap is expensive in the end" is absolutely valid. Only in this case we are not talking about some euros but the price is some or some teeth.

Social media reviews are important, but are they always true? The space, equipment and resume of a doctor are signs that someone is investing in their work and usually loves it. The doctor's experience is important, without necessarily being a prerequisite. There are colleagues who are young, but have this "something" that wins the patient.

At the same time, there are well-known colleagues for many years with important titles who are just tired of the profession, which bad lies is quite hard and demanding.

Successful treatment is one that is individualized to each patient - interested and fully meets both aesthetic and functional, as well as financial expectations. There is no magic recipe.

However, if we do not try something we will not really know how it is. Of course, the test should always be safe.

What are the 3 ways to choose the best dentist?

1. Be close to our home or work.
2. To feel comfortable in the doctor's office and with him, to openly discuss what concerns us in relation to our teeth.
3. To be detailed, thorough and informed with the "trends" of modern dental science, giving us all possible options. In the end, the patient - the interested party must make the right decision after knowing in detail the advantages or disadvantages of treatment.
