Keeping your teeth and mouth healthy is more than just having a great smile — your tooth health is a vital part of your overall well-being. When choosing a dentist, you want someone who has your best interests at heart, not just a stranger to clean your teeth. So what should you consider when looking for a new dentist?
Because dental care requires a physical visit to the dentist, choosing a dentist that is accessible and near enough to your home or place of work to allow for regular visits may be important to you. If you work a traditional 9-5 job or odd hours, you may need a dentist that is open on weekends or has earlier or later weekday hours so you don’t have to disrupt your whole day for an appointment. Language is also an important consideration — the dentistry’s website will list what languages are fluent among the staff, and you can always request a translator if you need one.
Of course, the big step is searching for a dentist that matches your needs! Here are four excellent practices across Europe that will welcome you and treat you with the best of care.
NurDent
NurDent, a dental health center in Oslo, is committed to providing everyone the best care possible. They focus strongly on preventative treatments to give people the knowledge and resources to maintain healthy teeth and lifelong oral care. NurDent centers your needs and has a team of oral surgeons, dentists, dental hygienists, and specialists who can help you with even the most challenging tooth problems. NurDent focuses on individual treatment plans, so you know you are in good hands and are getting the best care for your teeth.
Smile
Smile is Sweden’s oldest and largest private dental care service, with dozens of clinics all across the country. From services such as tooth whitening to braces to orthodontic surgery, Smile clinics are staffed with the most qualified professionals who want you to have a great experience — and get the care you need, no matter where you are. There is also an option to pay for your dental treatments over time, so you can get the treatment you need without worry. And if you have children or young adults under the age of 23, dental care is provided for free (with some exceptions for orthopedics).
Oral Care
Oral Care has multiple locations in Stockholm and neighboring areas, and you are guaranteed to get an emergency appointment within 24 hours — so you don’t need to suffer if a sudden tooth emergency occurs. With specialists, dental hygienists, and orthopedic surgeons on staff, you know you’re in the best hands for whatever oral treatment you require. Oral Care has treatment options for everything from basic preventative care to tooth-replacement surgery to invisible braces like Invisalign. No matter what your teeth need, Oral Care has a solution and a staff that will make sure you receive the best service possible.
Smile Up Dental
Smile Up Dental in London is a practice that strives to make your visit a great experience. Smile Up Dental offers a full slate of services, including orthodontics. With passionate and experienced tooth care professionals, Smile Up Dental provides a welcoming, laidback atmosphere and a team of experts that have your best interests in mind from the first “hello.”
Happy Teeth, Happy You
While many people have a fear of the dentist, there is little cause for it when you find the right practitioner. Dentists want you to be comfortable and feel safe in their practice. Setting up a call or visit may help you get to know your future dentist before the first tooth appraisal, which can help settle any nerves.
Your dentist wants you — and your teeth — to be happy and healthy.
