DR. JEFFREY SIMS, DDS
The risk that I see is choosing the wrong person.

If you choose your cardiologist by a billboard, would you really do that?

Would you choose your neurosurgeon by a billboard?

I don't think you should choose your dentist on a billboard either.

And so you have to do your homework.

You have to research, and you have to ask questions.

Maybe interview your doctor before you have an exam.

See if you're a right fit.

Referrals are great, and a good way to find a general dentist is ask a local gum specialist.

Gum specialists always know who good doctors are in the area.
