Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Your daughter has an infection on her primary (baby) tooth because a cavity has progressed into the nerve. The nerve is now infected and the tooth needs to be treated asap. I recommend a Pediatric Dentist due to the age of your daughter. If this situation goes untreated, it could affect the tooth bud of the permanent tooth that is to follow. What area do you live in?
