Is the clinic easy to get to, does the clinic appear to be clean and orderly? 2. Does the dentist explain techniques for good oral health? 3. Was your medical & dental history recorded? 4. Was the treatment plan explained to you in detail? 5. Is information about cost presented to you before treatment is scheduled? Choosing a dentist who clicks with you and your family is important.
