So, just how do you find a dentist in central Leeds? Well, there are a lot of things to take into account, but there are rules of engagement that you can employ before you go choosing. Firstly, work colleagues, family or even neighbours are a good source of information so you should always tap them up about where they go. Then, you should go and visit a few to see how they run their surgery, what equipment they have and what treatments they are able to perform, as this can be useful for complicated procedures should you require them (do they have an emergency service too?). Of course if you have children, the goalposts move quite a bit, you want a dentist that your children can grow to trust and who will nurse them through all those difficult years; speaking of which, children will be in and out of the dentists a lot, especially if they have to have braces fitted, so you want one that is going to be pretty close by to cut down on travelling expenditure. Finally, you have got to take to a dentist and feel a little safe in their hands. This person is going to get intimate in your mouth, so you need to trust in them and bond with them; you need that magical tooth fairy who is going to pack you down at night, protect you and say ‘there, there, everything’s going to be alright’.
