PDA's website (www.padental.org) is a wealth of knowledge on a variety of topics. Specifically, right on the homepage is a link to a section called "Find a Dentist." The page then contains a search option where there are multiple ways to find a PDA member dentist in your area. You can search by name, company, city or zip code. There is also the option of selecting a specialty such as Endodontics or Pediatric Dentistry.

Once you complete your search, you may be wondering what criteria to use to determine which dentist is the right fit. A few qualities you may want to consider are:

  • The location of the practice and hours that are convenient for your schedule.
  • Making sure that preventative care is a top priority.
  • The office has an emergency contact if the need arises after office hours.
  • Your medical record should be available for you to review at any point with your dentist or member of the dental team.
It is important to consider whether a dentist is a member of PDA, since the mission of the association puts a strong emphasis on serving the public, improving their health, and providing the best care possible. Dr. Tamara Brady, a PDA member dentist in Exton, said, "As a PDA member I make my patients' needs a priority. I know I am expected to uphold the standards that the ADA and PDA have set forth for the profession. The biggest compliment we receive is the referral of a new patient to our practice."

We hope that with the help of these tools, you're able to find a reliable local dentist that meets your needs and provides high quality oral care.
