Will 1-800-DENTIST share or sell my name and address information?
No, we don’t share any of your information with other companies.
Why does 1-800-DENTIST need my e-mail address?
Your new dentist has asked us to send a map and directions to you. We’d also like to send an e-mail survey to you so you can rate your experience with our service.
Why do I have to tell you anything about me?
Our service is free and confidential. We ask your name, address, phone number and e-mail so we can introduce you to the dental office that best suits your needs.
How does a dentist qualify to be a 1-800-DENTIST member?
We accept dentists onto our service only after they complete detailed applications and pass our rigorous screening process.
What is the 1-800-DENTIST screening process?
We verify that our members have dental licenses in good standing; we require professional references; we monitor patient feedback from consumers; and we remove members from our service if they fail to maintain our high standards.
Do dentists pay to be a part of 1-800-DENTIST?
Yes, just as dentists can pay to be listed on other Web sites and in the phone book. But our members are pre-screened and meet our strict membership guidelines.
What does it mean for the dentist’s license to be “in good standing”?
It means that the dentist’s license is valid and that the dentist is not currently subject to disciplinary action.
Why does 1-800-DENTIST need my phone number?
If you’re not able to reach the office right away, we may contact you to help connect you to the office.
Do I have to make an appointment?
We understand that you may be a little apprehensive about making an appointment, but your dental health is important, and the best person to talk to about your dental health is a dentist.
