Once you begin to have a family it is very important to begin to see a family dentist as soon as possible. Everyone needs to have a family dentist that they can go to, to get their teeth cleaned at least once a year. Some dentists serve a certain group that can not accept the family as a patient. If you do not have a family dentist here are some tips to help you find the right San Antonio family dentist for your family.

Call and ask. Some dentists will not advertise the group what they serve so you may need to call them and ask them what they receive. Once you have called all the dentists in your area, you can begin to narrow down your list to go by other factors that also play a role in your decision.

For example, if you have dental insurance and you choose a dentist in your network, you probably will not pay anything out of pocket for routine annual check and x-ray and you will pay the minimum amount from your pocket in any procedure. If you go to a dentist who is not in your network, you can pay just as much for the service as others who have no insurance at all.

Next, you want to check the hours of the dentist. Sometimes a dentist that is opened on the hours that you need them, is available. If you work a day shift and your children is in school, you may have to miss work and take them out of school in order to make a dentist appointment so it is important to also find out what hours they keep as well.
