Dental Benefits Questions Among Most-Asked by Patients

What questions are at the top of patients' minds when they visit the dentist? For nearly one in seven Americans, questions about their dental benefits ranked highest, according to the American Dental Association's 2003 Public Opinion Survey: Oral Health of the U.S. Population.

Other top five questions revolve around tooth whitening, cosmetic procedures, new dental technologies, and dental fees.
