In a prior post we talked about questions to ask a dentist when choosing a new potential dental office. Here are some more questions you may wish to ask and keep in mind.

* How long does it take to get a dental appointment? You may want to say away from dental offices that are so far booked up that making a dental appointment for yourself becomes difficult

* Do they charge for missed or broken dental appointments.  If so how much advance notice is required in order not to be charged.

* Does the dentist take continuing education courses and stay up to date with the latest techniques?

* Does the office offer any kind of payment plans? Many dental offices are starting to offer financing plans.

* Will the dentist office file the claims for you or will you have to do it yourself?

* Will the dentist accept your co pay or will you be required to pay the full amount up front and be reimbursed by your dental insurance company later?
