Local Dentist
Is a Local Dentist Best?
While some may say that it's worth it to travel, many find that a local dentist is indeed the best bet. This is because when a dentist is closer to you, you're more likely to visit quickly when it's time to get corrective work done. Because of this, cavities will be spotted sooner, and once they are, will be more likely to be filled before they get big enough to require root canal treatment. Other problems, like gum irritation, can similarly be addressed before it turns into serious disease.
Of course, you also gain the usual benefits of convenience when you choose a local dentist. You won't waste hours stuck in traffic, so you can get back to your usual activities sooner. It is also less stressful overall when you don't have to block out as much time to get dental work taken care of.
