How to Find a Female Dentist

Finding a dentist can be a difficult task. The search for a dentist who can make you feel comfortable and at ease during those dreaded dental visits can often be very frustrating. If you are looking specifically for a female dentist, there are a few ways to narrow your search.

Women-Specific Organizations

• Use the Internet to search the websites of various dental associations such as the American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD). The AAWD website allows you to search for a female dentist in your area by typing in a zip code, city, state or last name. You will then be connected to the information of the nearest female dentist.

Ask a Friend

• Finding a good female dentist could be as simple as asking around. Family members and friends can provide first-hand referrals for female dentists. Chances are even if they do not personally know one, they know someone who does.

Online Resources

• Searching physician-finder websites such as Dentalfind.com is also a good way to locate a female dentist. Narrow your search by selecting your local area, then peruse the listings for female dentists. Call the office to confirm the dentist is a female before making your appointment.
