First and foremost when looking for a general dentist is seeking out someone who is knowledgeable.

Having options for your dental treatments plans is important; a dentist should be able to provide different options for procedures to best fit your needs. Also, it's just as important for a dentist to have well educated assistants that as well keep up with the newest dental advances. Most dental visits your spending most of the time with the assistant, they should be just as knowledgeable about the procedures as the dentist performing them.

Dentistry is very precise and articulate in regards to performing treatment. A good general dentist should be able to provide treatment gently and not have to apply any unnecessary force. Dentist should also have steady hands and good endurance to be able to withstand long periods in the same position so there's no slipping up.

A dentist should be able to communicate to their patient what is going on at any given point during a procedure. Your treatment should be broken down into terms that you can understand and at no point be left in the dark about what's going on with the procedure.

Communication between other staff members is equally just as important; a dentist should be fully aware of any findings or concerns a hygienist or a dental assistant finds upon examinations and cleanings. A dentist should never be biased on what type of treatment should be done that brings in the most funds; patients well being should always come first.
