You can ask friends, look online for reviews, or ask your dentist for a recommendation. Since you’re here, we hope you’re considering Dr. Fred Salvatoriello. Dr. Sal and the Say Smile Team are convinced of the significant effect orthodontics can play in people's lives, and we're dedicated to a holistic approach to health care, which means a concern for your *complete* health and well-being. Getting to know you and your health needs is a key element in our relationship with you. ## Specialized Care with Personality During your initial exam, we evaluate your orthodontic concerns, explain possible problems, and give you plenty of time to ask questions since we know it’s not easy to pick an orthodontist. We also use this time to ensure our personalities mesh well together. Since we could be working with you or your child for many months or years, it’s important we establish a good rapport and keep lines of communication open. We think it’s possible to treat patients caringly with fun and good humor. Orthodontics is an experience that’s meant to enhance the quality of life and while we take our work very seriously, we enjoy doing it in a fun way. ## Flexibility to Fit Your Lifestyle We’re a family business and know how busy families are, so our staff will work with you to make sure orthodontic visits work in your schedule. We also have [emergency appointments](https://www.800saysmile.com/orthodontia-emergency-care) in case a patient needs to visit us unexpectedly. We have [three offices](https://www.800saysmile.com/contact-our-orthodontic-practice) so you can select the one that’s most convenient for you. ## Financing You Can Afford When you think about how to pick an orthodontist, cost is definitely a factor. Dr. Sal takes Medicaid, offers payment plans, and works with patients to ensure their treatment fits into their budget. You can review a few of the [financing options](https://www.800saysmile.com/orthodontic-financing) as part of the discussion at your first visit. ## People Who Care Dr. Sal and the Say Smile Team are welcoming, patient, and caring, and if you don’t take our word for it, [see what some of our patients have to say](https://www.800saysmile.com/reviews-treatment-braces). Since we have three office locations, our presence in the community is felt for miles. Some of our patients drive over two hours one way to see us for their care. (By the way, the state of New Hampshire will reimburse New Hampshire Medicaid patients for mileage costs.)
