Our family has been to a number of different dentists in our lives. Suffice it to say that all dentists are not created equal. My wife has had dentists aggressively diagnose 23 fillings because she had soft spots during her pregnancy. I have had fillings that needed to be redone every year and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

You might think that we have poor oral hygiene because a dentist said that my wife needed 23 fillings, but that fact of the matter is, we brush and floss every day as recommended. What you might not know is that dentists can range from very aggressive to very conservative. Aggressive dentists will diagnose things that are unnecessary. For example, it is okay for a dentist to fill a soft spot even though that spot could be re-hardened by using a fluoride treatment. An aggressive dentist will fill that spot.

So when you are looking for the right dentist it is important to find out what their style of treatment planning is. You can do this through asking friends and neighbors and reading .

Our family recently went to Oxford Dental Care to see Dr. Drew. He and the staff were very friendly and open with us. Dr. Drew is a conservative treatment planner who likes to help patients keep their teeth for as long as possible. You can guess that he didn't have any work that he needed to do on us. It is nice to have a great dentist you can rely on. Dr. Drew and the staff are not pushy or salesy and they do great at keeping our family very comfortable. I highly recommend Oxford Dental Care to all of my family members and friends. Affordable, high quality and honest. This is the definition of a great dentist.... less Health
