“It is not easy to choose a dentist”, recognizes from the outset a practitioner of the centers Dentego. “In some towns, there are a lot of practitioners and there really aren’t any ‘criteria’ on which to base your choice! » Three tips to help you…
Tip #1: choose a recognized professional
It seems obvious, yet it is the basis when you want to make an appointment with a dentist for the first time: check that your name does indeed appear in the directory of the National Order of Dental Surgeons.
“Before making an appointment with a dentist, also ask for some advice around you: in general, word of mouth is a fairly reliable indicator,” adds the practitioner.

Tip n°2: favor proximity
Choosing a practitioner near your home (or your place of work) can be a good idea: you will thus avoid long journeys, delays… and you will arrive more serenely at your appointment. Also, don’t hesitate to check the practice’s opening hours: if you don’t have too much free time during the week, choose a practice open on Saturdays… or during the lunch break.
“For people with very busy schedules, dental centers (Dentego, for example) can be a good solution: you can get an appointment there quickly and, except in exceptional circumstances, dental emergencies are treated in the day, even on Sunday!”
Tip #3: Listen to your inner voice
According to the UFSBD, 48% of French people are afraid to go to the dentist – we talk about stomatophobia. To calm the anxiety, it is better to choose a professional with whom you immediately feel confident, and who shows patience and gentleness: if the feeling does not pass, do not hesitate to look elsewhere!
“Try to avoid dentists whose waiting times are very long, and absolutely avoid professionals who are reluctant to give you an estimate when the medical or surgical procedure exceeds 70 euros – it’s mandatory! Ditto: a poorly maintained waiting room is a bad sign…” adds the practitioner.
In some large cities, there are dental centers: these bring together qualified dental surgeons and offer prices accessible to all. In addition, they systematically practice third-party payment and, except in exceptional circumstances, dental emergencies are treated during the dayeven on Sunday! We have already said it above!
This is the case of Dentego which, with its 9 dental centers throughout France, offers moderate prices with wide opening hours to allow everyone to have access to the best dental health. In addition, to be closer to its patients, Dentego dental centers reserve time slots dedicated to dental emergencies during the week and on Sunday mornings.
Thanks to the practitioner of the Dentego centers.
