Adults are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Children need routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Kaktovik, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Kaktovik pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for 1199 family dentists in Kaktovik who can provide children’s dentistry, contact us. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care kids not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of regular care. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your children!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a 1199 dentist in Kaktovik, AK who can offer a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Extracting a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and overall esthetics. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Kaktovik general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Kaktovik, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90 percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to describe their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a professional. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Kaktovik, AK that accepts 1199.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last teeth to erupt, their presence can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Kaktovik dentist or oral surgeon quickly.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes without complications. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain these facts, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Kaktovik dentists that accept 1199 and can effectively pull your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for kids to visit a dental professional twice a year for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik who accepts 1199, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their permanent teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Kaktovik.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik, AK that accepts 1199, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Kaktovik dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to get whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Kaktovik dentist that takes 1199, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last visited a dentist, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for consistent visits, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Kaktovik, AK that takes 1199 we can help you find a great match.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Kaktovik dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential issues. If they find anything amiss, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Kaktovik dentist we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental conditions.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
