Visiting the Dentist

When it comes to dental care, you and your dentist share a common objective: making sure your teeth and gums are as healthy as they possibly can be. This section contains information that will help you and your dental team achieve that objective.

Your Oral Health Care Team — As the leader of the oral health care team, your dentist works closely with the dental hygienist, the dental assistant and the dental office staff to keep you and your mouth healthy.

The Dental Exam — How often you go for a dental exam depends on your oral health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early.

Dental Specialties — If the treatment you need or want calls for extra training, you or your dentist may be more comfortable if you see a dental specialist.

About Dental Plans — Dental plans, or benefits, are a means to help you to pay for your dental treatment.

About Dental Fee Guides — Dentists follow fee guides that suggest what he or she should be charging for a particular procedure or treatment.

Treatment Concerns — If you have a concern about the dental treatment you receive, your dentist would want to know about it.
