When you’re gearing up for your first visit to a new family dentist, it’s important to walk through the doors armed with knowledge and a pinch of confidence. Choosing a dentist is more than just picking the one closest to home or the one with the fanciest website; it’s about building a relationship based on trust, comfort, and care for your family’s dental health. Before you hop into that dentist’s chair, here are some key questions you might want to ask.<\/p>\n

1. Are You Accepting New Patients?<\/h2>\n

2. What Are Your Office Hours?<\/h2>\n

Your family’s daily routine consists of work, school, and activities, which means timing is key. Ensuring that the dentist’s office hours align with your availability can save future headaches.<\/p>\n
