Dentist Recommendations

I’m terrified of the dentist and grew up with poor dental hygiene. As an adult, I’m working to break the bad habits I learned as a kid, but I’m concerned about my teeth. I already have several fillings from my childhood. It’s been about two years since my last visit to the dentist.
I’m seeking a dentist who is patient and creates a relaxed atmosphere.

 

Which part of the country are you in? You'll have better luck posting in one of the regional discussion threads.

I always check websites like healthgrades.com or vitals.com to look up providers in my area by specialty, including dentists. Those sites (and probably others I don't know about) have reviews broken down by various aspects, like comfort, bedside manner, billing practices, and such, which should help you narrow down the right one for you. I think they also show who takes what insurance but I can't remember that part for sure.

 

Pretty strange, a new member first post on TW , zero information about him/herself , comes to a Toyota Truck forum and posts a question about dental care. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt we’ll hear from this person (troll) again. I mean what do i know , maybe TW is the know all and be all for dental care.

 

This new era of AI search optimization is weird.

I sure wish I knew how this generates money.

 

I know a guy.

 

I am going to take a wild guess that he is from Tacoma WA and he thought he was posting in a local forum.

 

I look for a dentist with my well being as his main priority. my guy's motto is "no pain - unless absolutely necessary "

I do not want a guy that does work just so he can make a boat payment.
