After your Jacksonville moving company has pulled out of the driveway, you’ll be ready to start getting organized and familiar with your new city. Part of that includes finding a doctor and dentist, so when the time comes for a check-up, you know where you’ll be going. Finding the right dentist for your family is an important task, so we’ve given you a quick run-down of the best way to find someone locally.
Ask Around; Asking locals might be obvious, but many times overlooked as the best option for finding a local dentist. When you meet your neighbors or people in the community, be sure to ask for advice on where they go. People love to offer up their experiences and advice. If you haven’t had the chance to meet anyone yet, turn to social media. Throw a question out to Facebook and see if anyone knows of someone locally who might be able to help give you a recommendation.
Google It: Here’s one of the quickest ways to find dentists in your area. We suggest searching for dentists based on your location first, because proximity will be important, but then once you’ve found a dentist be sure to take that name and search for online reviews. So first step is to:
· Go to www.google.com
· Search for: “Dentist + Jacksonville, FL” or use your zip code
· Click on “Maps” in the toolbar
· View area dentists and write down 5-10 located closest to your home
· Continue onto the next step which is find reviews
Get Reviews: Once you’ve narrowed down your search go to the following sites in order to get objective feedback. Note how many reviews each dentist has because sometimes overall ratings can be misleading if there are only a few reviews in the dentist’s profile:
