Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents require routine dental exams 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, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dentist in Tununak, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Tununak pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, 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 dentition and prevent tooth caries. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, sealants can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna family dentists in Tununak who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of good oral hygiene. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you and your children!

When 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 missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Aetna dentist in Tununak, AK who can provide a gentle tooth extraction 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 periodontitis. Taking out 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 Tununak dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Tununak, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth pulled and are eager to describe their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Tununak, AK that accepts Aetna.


The third molars are in the back of the 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 complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are more susceptible to abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can damage your dentition. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Tununak oral surgeon quickly.


If you need wisdom teeth extraction, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the extraction to ensure 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 sedation and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain this information, 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 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 extracted, you will be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Tununak dentists that accept Aetna and can adeptly remove your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Tununak who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


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


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Tununak.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture 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 tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Tununak, AK that takes Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Tununak dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 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 wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment online with a Tununak 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.
