Ive just moved into the area and need a dentist. Where can I get a recommendation?

The Illinois State Dental Society suggests these tips if youre looking for a dentist: • Ask trusted friends and family members for their recommendations. This is one of the best ways to find a dentist you’ll be comfortable with. • If youre moving, your dentist may be able to refer you to another dentist in your new location. • Verify that the dentist is a member of the American Dental Association and the Illinois State Dental Society when you call to make your initial appointment. Members of these organizations agree to subscribe to a code of professional conduct. • If youre looking for a specialist (i.e., periodontist, orthodontist, pediatric dentist, etc.), it is best to ask your regular dentist for a recommendation and referral. This way, you can be assured that copies of the necessary patient records will be transferred in advance to the specialist. In addition, the specialist will report back to your dentist for the purpose of coordinating your oral health care.
