Questions To Ask Your Dentist

How am I expected to pay? What are the costs for services. Is this discounted or based on income? What Documents am I required to provide? Do you need me to provide income statements in order to verify discounts, mail to provide residency? How are the instruments sterilized? Heat sterilization is very important for all instruments. If you are not comfortable with their answer, you can choose another office.
