Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Children need routine checkups and cleanings 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 arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Shageluk, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Shageluk pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, 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 caries. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, these protective sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for 1199 family dentists in Shageluk who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care kids not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of caring for their smiles. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that initial dental exam. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you and your children!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, 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 restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a 1199 dentist in Shageluk, AK who can offer a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Removing a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. 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 a full prosthetic. Your Shageluk dentist could use the extraction to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in the Shageluk, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to describe their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a professional. If you need your wisdom teeth pulled, it is important to have a wide range 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 Shageluk, AK that accepts 1199.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They most commonly appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last teeth to erupt, their appearance can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to harmful bacteria. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can affect your dentition. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Shageluk oral surgeon quickly.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain this information, 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 any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will be provided with post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Shageluk dentists that accept 1199 and can skillfully extract your wisdom teeth.

It is essential for your little ones to visit a dental professional every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Shageluk who accepts 1199, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. 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 Shageluk.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shageluk, AK that takes 1199, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Shageluk dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 choose whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Shageluk dentist that takes 1199, we can help you find a great one.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options.

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.
