Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Kids need routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to book an appointment with a pediatric dentist in Ketchikan, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Ketchikan pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for 1199 dentists in Ketchikan who can offer care for kids, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of good oral hygiene. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you and your family!

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a 1199 dentist in Ketchikan, AK who can provide a safe tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, severe cavities 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 return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Ketchikan general dentist could use the extraction to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Ketchikan, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom teeth extracted and are eager to divulge their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a dental professional. If you need these 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 extraction and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Ketchikan, AK that accepts 1199.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They most commonly appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth, their appearance can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are more susceptible to harmful bacteria. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Ketchikan oral surgery specialist hastily.


If you need wisdom tooth removal, your doctor will determine how they will go about the extraction to ensure everything goes without complications. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also decide the appropriate type of sedation and the position of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia 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 ok. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will get information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Ketchikan dentists that accept 1199 and can skillfully extract your wisdom teeth.

It is important for kids to visit the dentist bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Ketchikan who accepts 1199, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Ketchikan.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Ketchikan, AK that accepts 1199, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Ketchikan dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. 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 from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile.

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.
