When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Sealants are an excellent way to prevent decay. It is a very fluid filling material that fill the deep grooves and fissures in posterior teeth where many people will first get decay. It can lower your risk for occlusal (biting surface) cavities for life. They are usually covered by dental insurance for children and are only half the cost or less of the fillings that they are meant to prevent. Definitely get them. I recommend them as soon as the molars erupt.
