If you have just moved to Leeds or in fact, have started a family, it will be necessary to find a dentist and if you are single, your needs will be different than if you have children. You can always get ideas from asking work colleagues or friend and see who they go to, but it is probably best to go along to a surgery and see for yourself. You can gauge whether or not you like the dentist by sitting down and have a chat- an interview if you like. Then have a look around and find out what treatments are on offer. This is important because if the dentist offers modern treatments, they can be beneficial to you, especially if you have anxiety about dental procedures- and modern dentistry is quite pain-free. If however you have children, your needs become different. Finding one nearby to where you live can be important because as your kids grow, they will go through a lot of changes and will be in and out of the surgery all of the time, so you will want to reduce the costs of travelling. It is also important that your dentist can build up good records of your children’s oral health. You will have to take into account paying for the work being done, so setting up a payment plan or insurance with your dentist could be vital. Also children like consistency, so having a regular dentist with a good manner is imperative. But never stick around if you are unhappy with what is being done- there are plenty of others that could be better for you.
