One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for many different reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lasting toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Southside, AL area who takes Aetna!


When the dentist examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a dental filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance. If you have an aching tooth, use our search page to connect with Southside dentists who are open on Sundays and book an appointment.

Did you ever notice popping or crackling sound in the jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually wear down outer tooth structure! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Southside, AL who accepts Aetna.


While very different from one another, we often find these are related. TMJ disorder develops when the joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you clench or grind your teeth in your sleep. The stress caused by grinding could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that strain the jaw joints, and untreated TMJ disorder could lead to bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Southside who accepts Aetna.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following recontouring, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dental professionals is an oral splint, which fits like a nightguard. If you need to find treatment from a Southside dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have an infected tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is uniquely designed for your dentition and can return beauty, function, and health to your smile. Our team can help connect you to a Southside, AL dental professional who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Aetna. Don’t risk a lost tooth!


One of the initial signs of trouble could be an aching tooth. This could mean the presence of a cavity. As toothache worsens, you could risk worsening infection or even tooth loss. An injury that chips a tooth could also lead to complications like tooth decay or infection with time. In such cases, restorative treatment could stop discomfort. If the problem is too severe for a dental filling, then you may need a full dental restoration.


The dental crown is a complete dental restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from biocompatible materials like silver. However, many dentists in the Southside, AL area offer more aesthetic options made from ceramic. The total placement process takes two individual appointments. The dental crown, whether we use a metal or more aesthetic options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic provides a balanced bite, protecting your teeth from complications like TMJ disorder. If you have teeth that need repair then talk to Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental practices that fit your needs and accept Aetna.

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Southside who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 barrier between their molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Southside.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad 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 teeth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Southside, AL that works with Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Southside 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. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request a consultation with a Southside dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-annual visits, your dentist can closely examine your teeth 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 are looking for a dentist in Southside, AL that takes Aetna we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove plaque and tartar that is hard to remove at home — even with fantastic brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your teeth feeling rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Southside dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential complications. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they will explain your treatment options. The Southside practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your teeth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
