What do you look for in a new dentist? We are getting our new providers lined up here. Asking around isn't really an option this time. DH works with all men that are either retired military (with military dentists) or single guys.

I pulled down the list of prefered providers from our dental company. Starting with that. Dh says we want one that does oral surgery like root canals on hand. Last dentist the family had didn't so when DH had problem he wound up getting bounced around to a referal. That eats up your yearly limit quickly!

Anything else to either avoid or look for?

I know this isn't any help, but I just asked a friend when we moved to town who she went to and if she was happy there. That's where dh and I go - dks go to the pediatric dentist in town. :) It'll be interesting to see how other people chose their dentist. Good luck! :)
