If you\u2019re looking for a dentist in Canadian County it\u2019s easier than ever to simply look up who is in your area. How are you supposed to figure out which dentist is right for you and your family?<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re going to make your search much simpler by telling you the 3 most important things you should look for when choosing a dentist. \u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Look at their list of services<\/h2>\n<p>This will immediately let you know if a practice might be right for you. Basically, do they offer the kinds of dental treatments you are seeking? Is the practice able to treat patients of all ages? \u00a0Do they have before and after photos of sample procedures? Do they offer a FREE First Visit\u2122? At El Reno Family Dentistry, we offer a FREE First Visit\u2122 to every new patient. This includes exam with dentist and x-rays. Then you and your dentist can discuss the best treatment plan for you. We present the options for you and you always decide what is best for you and your family.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Look at the doctor\u2019s experience<\/h2>\n<p>Every year, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ada.org\/en\/science-research\/health-policy-institute\/dental-statistics\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dental schools in the US and Canada produce about 6,000 dentists<\/a>, orthodontists, and various other dental specialists. While most of these schools are excellent, you definitely wouldn\u2019t want to visit a dentist who hasn\u2019t had time to experience the real world. You want one who has had several years on the job and a proven track record. Our patient reviews at El Reno Family Dentistry tell the story.\u00a0 Patient after patient touts Dr. Cohlmia as an excellent dentist. Our team has years of experience. That is why we proudly say we are El Reno\u2019s Most Caring Dental Office\u2122.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Check for advanced credentials<\/h2>\n<p><strong>AEGD<\/strong>, which stands for Advanced Education in General Dentistry, is a key credential to look for. The University of Oklahoma AEGD program is very competitive to get into and requires an additional year of dental education on top of completing dental school. After completing an AEGD program, a dentist will be able to better:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide a comprehensive range of dental care<\/li>\n<li>Make clinical judgements and diagnoses<\/li>\n<li>Formulate effective treatment plans<\/li>\n<li>Know when to refer patients to specialists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a patient, you know the following when someone has completed an AEGD program:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>They are committed to providing the highest-quality dentistry possible.<\/li>\n<li>They have more knowledge and skill than many general dentists.<\/li>\n<li>They made a time and financial investment in addition to their DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It enables a dentist to provide a unique and superior level of care, which is a huge benefit for their patients.\u00a0 All in all, it pretty much means that a dentist has taken the extra time to become the best care-giver they can be, and no matter what your dental needs might be, that\u2019s probably exactly what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Search is Over!&#8230;Hopefully<\/h2>\n<p>By just looking at these 3 things, you\u2019ll be able to sift through the pile of search results and find the perfect dentist for you and your family. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be in the treatment chair with the satisfaction of knowing you made the right decision.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistelreno.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Adam Cohlmia<\/a> is a general, cosmetic, and family dentist based in El Reno, Oklahoma.
