sleep-apnea-treatment

When you experience a sleep disorder, you may not assume a dentist could help. In fact, Aetna dentists can often provide a comfortable solution to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that as you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the tissues around the throat collapse and interrupt your sleep cycle. People actually stop breathing for a few seconds until the brain wakes them. Even as you believe you slept well, you could experience daytime drowsiness! But when is it necessary to contact Doctors Network and find Tanaina, AK dentists who provide treatment options?


Sings of OSA could include loud and frequent snoring. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and even moodiness could be factors too. Without treatment, the condition could impact your immune system and heart health. When you experience similar symptoms, consider finding out your treatment options. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.


This week we are celebrating our dentists in Manhattan.

But for some, bruxism could mean grinding and clenching continue into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from clenching and grinding your teeth could damage your smile. Chipped and cracked teeth could change your appearance.

Did you ever notice a popping sensation in your jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. 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 Tanaina, AK who accepts Aetna.


While very different from one another, one often increases the risk of the other. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems with jaw function. Common symptoms include pain in the head and neck. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. The stress caused by grinding could cause jaw pain and headaches. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. This damage could lead to decayed teeth, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Tanaina who accepts Aetna.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion 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 Tanaina dentist. then contact our team!

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children 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 pediatric dental office in Tanaina 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 protective layer between their back teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Tanaina.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise 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 Tanaina, AK that takes Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Tanaina dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even 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 go with 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 put these on for a few hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request an appointment online with a Tanaina dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule a consultation soon. When you go in for bi-yearly visits, your dentist can thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures down the road. If you are looking for a dentist in Tanaina, AK that accepts Aetna we can help you find a great practice.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove plaque and tartar that is tough to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your teeth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is over, your Tanaina dentist will begin his or her 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 Tanaina dentist we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental needs. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can keep track of the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

More than a quarter of Alaska’s residents are under the age of 18, and as they grow, their dental health needs will constantly evolve. Maintaining a regular schedule of preventive dental visits can be costly enough, especially without dental insurance.

With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and your primary dentist’s office, you can ensure that you and your family will always have access to the personalized, high-quality care that you deserve. For instance, checkups and cleanings are only $25 per visit, and you can enjoy discounts of up to 90% on treatments such as fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, Invisalign® aligners, and more.

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.
