Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Kids require routine preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to book an online appointment a family dentist in Akutan, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Akutan pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, sealants can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna dentists in Akutan who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care kids not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance 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 first checkup and cleaning. 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 injured, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the 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 book a visit with a Aetna dentist or oral surgeon in Akutan, AK who can offer a safe tooth extraction as needed.


As we discussed earlier, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Taking out 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 appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Akutan dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when 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 Akutan, 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 low monthly cost. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to divulge their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dental professional. If you need these teeth pulled, it is best to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Akutan, AK that accepts Aetna.


Wisdom teeth are in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They most commonly appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are more susceptible to bacteria and infections. If any of these situations happen, 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 Akutan dentist or oral surgeon hastily.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth extraction, your dentist will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these details, they can extract your wisdom teeth 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 doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Akutan dentists that accept Aetna and can skillfully extract your wisdom teeth.

It is important for kids to visit the dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Akutan who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental 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 adult molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities 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. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Akutan.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used 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 Akutan, AK that takes Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Akutan dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. 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 go with whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe peroxide solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Akutan dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find a fantastic one.

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.
