Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents need regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an online appointment a pediatric dental professional in Elim, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Elim pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna family dentists in Elim who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also learn the importance of caring for their smiles. These visits 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 best dentist for you!

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 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 tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book an online appointment with a Aetna dentist in Elim, AK who can provide a effective tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Extracting a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! 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 full or partial dentures. Your Elim dentist could use the extraction to improve the function and health of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a general dentist in the Elim, 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 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 pulled and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dental professional. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is best to have lots 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 Elim, AK that accepts Aetna.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their presence can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Elim oral surgery practice as soon as possible.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth removal, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure 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 anesthesia and the condition of your existing teeth and nerve. 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, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Elim dentists that accept Aetna and can skillfully extract your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for children to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Elim who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their back molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Elim.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Elim, AK that works with Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Elim dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe whitening solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Elim dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
