How to choose a dentist, then, is a pretty important question.

• Perhaps some people don't take choosing a dentist seriously (or the idea of selecting a dentist seriously, anyway) because lots of us take our teeth for granted. We don't have to go in to get our teeth worked on in a serious way very often. They're merely these big hard things in our mouths that we chew and smile with. But when you think about how important your teeth are, your attitude towards choosing a dentist changes. Not only do your teeth provide the structure for your face--if your teeth collapse, your face goes with them--your teeth allow you to stay alive in that they help you chew food to the point that it can be digested, and they enable you to enjoy life in that these people help you eat any food you want, prepared the way you want it.
