Ask friends, family and co-workers who they are using as their dentist and if they would recommend him/her to others. You are likely to feel comfortable seeing a dentist that has a good reputation amongst your family and friends.

You can also set up a consultation appointment to visit the office. Take notice of the appearance of both the office and staff. Make sure the office is neat and orderly. Every dental office must follow the guidelines set forth by the current OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines for sterilization and disinfections.
