Are You This Patient?
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.

Dear single mom. Fillings as a rule don''''''''t just fall out. Usually there is recurrent decay and or broken tooth structure that causes the filling to be lost. In many cases, where the filling has "fallen out", there is inadequate tooth structure to hold a new one and a crown is needed to restore the tooth. It''''''''s very hard to make an accurate diagnosis without actually looking at the tooth and taking a couple of x-rays. Also, if it has been a while since your last cleaning, you will need to get that done prior to any restorative treatment.Dr Hood
