However, it should not be as it is a doctor with whom we will have a long-term relationship, which is why choosing the right dentist is very important. It should inspire confidence in us, make us feel comfortable and solve all our questions.

Below we will see some criteria that will help us choose a dentist.

1. The treatment we need will lead us to the right specialty, and therefore to specialized dentists. The "list" of dentists who deal with cosmetic dentistry differs from orthodontists, orthodontists or periodontists. That is why our choice should be focused on the problem we are facing.
2. Recommendations are always a good idea. We can ask friends or someone we trust to recommend their dentist, as long as they are completely satisfied.
3. In case we have moved and are looking for a new dentist, we can ask our dentist to recommend a colleague in our new area. Ideally, if we are completely satisfied with our dentist, it would be good to take a little more trip and not change it.
4. Then we can do an internet search, using the search engines and create a list of the top rated dentists in our area. By reading patient reviews as well as the dentist's CV we can form a first opinion. Of course, we can consult the local dental association for more information.
5. Opening hours. Many times the work and obligations do not go hand in hand with the opening hours of the dental clinics. It would be good to choose a dentist who, among other things, has convenient working hours.
6. It is also important that the dental clinic is close to our home or workplace. However, even further away, we can check if it is easily accessible by public transport or if there is parking for our car.

All of the above ways will help us find a good dentist. Surely, our opinion after an examination and close communication with the doctor himself, to solve questions, to see the equipment and the premises of the doctor's office will give us the answer if we finally found our own dentist.
