Health is our most precious asset and it should not be entrusted to anyone, even if it
is a health professional like a dentist who has a storefront and a nice clean brass plate and shining next to the front door of his office.
In terms of dental care, which is not the most pleasant, (just 
ask a few people to hear about this famous “fear” of the dentist ), this choice is very important because it will engage a relationship &interpersonal trust that will help reduce stress and lead the patient to consult without hesitation. One must immediately feel at ease, understand oneself, in short, as the popular expression says: the current must pass.
However, we will illustrate some criteria that will help you identify a good dentist:
1. Fame and “word of mouth”:
The first simple and safe way to choose a good dentist is simply to ask around you, your family, your colleagues, your friends, if they can advise you a good address. To get a first idea of his qualities and skills just listen to what many of his patients (family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc.) say about their care. how they describe their appointments, how they perceive the dentist as a person, his friendliness, availability, listening skills, attention to the patient’s pain, etc.
Jarrebt Saudi Arabia gives you an effective way to access patient feedback from thousands of dentists across the kingdom.
It is also necessary to learn about the staff of the general practice, because, besides the dentist himself, the secretary and the assistant are people to whom the patient also deals and it is important not to feel a simple name written in front of a schedule on an appointment book or one of the many anonymous people who will sit in the chair and to whom it will be necessary to stretch a glass of water to rinse the mouth. Human warmth and personalization of the relationship are two important aspects that help to feel comfortable, relaxed and confident.
2. The material
The second criterion is the material available to the dentist and his ability to integrate new technologies that improve the quality of care for patients. For example, a dentist who has been working for 15 or 20 years and whose experience could be a guarantee of competence, may also have stayed with the methods of his beginnings thus depriving his clientele of advances in dentistry. In addition, the cleanliness and hygiene of the entire cabinet must be irreproachable, whether it is the floor, the chair and even more instrument shelves and the sterilization of the latter between each patient.
3. Clarity on diagnosis and rates
The third criterion relates to the communication relating to diagnosis and the care to be taken and the financial aspect involved. A good dentist will not refuse to inform you clearly and in understandable language, of the state of your mouth, nor to provide you with an estimate of the acts he proposes to remedy your problem. Many complementary insurances or mutuals require, moreover, now this type of document, since the care does not concern the simple decay or the annual descaling.
It often happens that some patients complain that their dentist does not quote them, do they have the right?
Absolutely not.Every dentist must prepare a quote for the acts that have not been refunded or partially refunded.If you do not have a quote, change the dentist.In most cases, the quotes are made in the case of dental prostheses or periodontal surgery, orthodontics because these are the most expensive care.
4. Detect doubtful signs
What are the signs that should put us smart?
– Any sign of doubtful hygiene: gloves that are not new, a waiting room not maintained …
– A practitioner who makes appointments every quarter of an hour: it means that he does not take, or very little time, with his patients, this is not a good sign.
– A practitioner who offers you many prostheses while everything was fine until then: in this case, ask rather the opinion of another practitioner
– A firm that does not display its rates or refuses to make an estimate: the bill may be salty!
5. Intervene according to its scope
In the dental field, there are different categories of specialists
– orthodontists : they take care of realigning teeth or correcting major problems of machoîre that requires delicate surgical procedures.
– periodontologists : they deal with everything from the environment of the tooth, periodontal, gum and alveolar bone, sometimes it is necessary to do a deep curettage under the gum to eliminate all the tartar.
– Implantologists : they put the implants, each practitioner can put implants but it 
is better to trust a practitioner who ask hundreds than a practitioner who asks one a week, because it will tend to practice that a only technique whereas the implantology can require several techniques thus a different surgical tray each time according to the marks of the implants, and that neccessite a heavy investment that a practitioner lamda can not afford to have.
– the occlusodontists : who deal with the problems related to the relations between the teeth of the maxillary superior and those of the lower jaw, problem of articulation, bruxism, abnormal wear of the teeth.
How to know where to turn?
It is the usual dentist who must refer his patient to a particular colleague depending on the problem encountered, if he himself is not a specialist in this case. If he does not: problem!
6. Do not hesitate to compare
Unfortunately, as in all trades, there are conscientious and honest people, which is generally the case, but there are still some bad apples in the lot. So better be warned.
The dental scams, it exists! Astronomical bills, excessive care when there is no need … How to guard against it?
Dental care is sometimes so expensive that you can end up with scams. There is the risk of having crowns on teeth that do not need them, or having a much heavier bill than necessary. The best solution in such a case solution is to seek the advice of another practitioner in the slightest doubt.
