Choosing a Family Dentist

San Diego, Encinitas, and Carlsbad, California

Choosing a family dentist can sometimes be a difficult process. How do you know if a dentist is right for your family? What qualifications should you consider? How do you know if a dentist is committed to giving you and your family the best dental care possible?

 

Just like any other medical professional, dentists need to spend time developing their skills after graduation from dental school. We live in a world where technology moves advances quickly. As scientists learn more about how to improve dental care, it is important that your family dentist is well trained and up to date on all the latest advancements in the field.  Membership in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) or the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is a first step in finding out if your dentist is committed to continuing education. Dr. Mary Walsh-Cole, San Diego cosmetic dentist, has spent over 1,400 hours taking courses to earn her fellowship and mastership in the AGD. These are awards given to AGD members after they complete rigorous training levels.

 

It is important that all members of your family feel comfortable in the dentist's chair. Dr. Mary Walsh-Cole knows this well, and strives to make all of her patients as comfortable as possible. She knows that the little things can sometimes make a huge difference in a patient's experience, which is why her office offers spa-like amenities including warm neck towels, a coffee and juice bar, and noise canceling headphones.

 

Family dentists should be skilled in more than one area so they can serve your family when any need crops up. Dr. Mary Walsh-Cole is an experienced cosmetic and general dentist, who has the experience and training to tackle any dental problem you may have.

 

A good family dentist should have experience working with clients of all ages and needs. A dentist should offer to share before and after pictures if you are having a specific procedure done. A good dentist is also willing to listen to all of your concerns and answer all of your questions in an individual manner. Dr. Mary Walsh-Cole will never treat your family like just another patient. For her, every patient is a very important person. Dr. Walsh-Cole and her staff work tirelessly to make sure all your concerns are fully met.
