Qualities You Should Seek When Looking for a New Affordable Dentist
When you are seeking an affordable dentist in Tampa, Florida, there are certain characteristics you should expect them to have. You want a knowledgeable dentist who listens to you and is honest. You get all this and more when you visit Dr. Loc Tong or Dr. Angela Rasmussen at Gentle Dentistry. Here are some traits you should expect from any dentist you visit.
A Dentist Who Listens
When you have laid out your concerns about your dental health to your dentist, you want a dentist who will sit knee-to-knee with you and truly hear you out. Dr. Tong and Dr. Rasmussen truly understand that there is a person behind the teeth. Whether it concerns the diagnoses themselves, the financial implications associated with them, or simply how they will work with your schedule, a dentist who is a good listener customizes your plan according to your unique circumstances.
An Honest Dentist
When seeking a new dentist, you want to pick one you can trust. A doctor-patient relationship is one of the most important relationships you can establish. A trustworthy dentist who will be honest with you about your oral health presents both the pros and cons of doing versus not doing treatment while not pushing you to make a decision you are not comfortable with. Going to the dentist can already be stressful. An honest dentist truly illustrates the value of the proposed care, making you feel comfortable that if the same clinical presentation occurred within their own family, they would recommend the same solutions for them. Find a dentist you know will always be upfront and honest with you.

A Knowledgeable Dentist
It should go without saying, but any dentist you choose should be very knowledgeable in all areas of dentistry they practice. Ask them about their background, where they went to dental school, and what advanced certifications they have acquired in their training. A knowledgeable dentist takes regular continuing education far outside the minimum requirements to maintain their license.
