A common reason to look for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by tooth decay, 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 probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Galena, AK area near you who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dentist examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. then, a dental restoration 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.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Adolescents 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 malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a family dentist in Galena, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Galena pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth caries. Sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Galena who can offer care for kids, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you!

We’ve reached the time of the year when adults and children will be getting active. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that they could sustain dental trauma. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become cracked or chipped, and when damage occurs, you need emergency treatment. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you access a 24-hour emergency care center in Galena, AK who can repair your smile.


The outside of each tooth protects the dentition. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is fractured, this could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Galena emergency dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for less obvious emergency situations. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling is compromised!


After you visit Doctors Network and begin the search for your Galena, AK dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking a store bought pain medication. A piece of cloth or a tea bag can be helpful also. Using an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the office. They can be placed in a glass of milk or salt water.

When spring arrives, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help you find great Galena cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Galena, AK. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your concerns in order to come up with the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you don’t have a cosmetic dentist in the Galena, AK area, we can find a dental care provider for you! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that is also healthy and strong!

According to studies by the Centers for Disease Control, over half of adults older than the age of thirty suffer from periodontal disease. Without intervention, this condition could lead to painful symptoms, including red and bleeding gums. The advanced stage, referred to as periodontitis, could also cause adult tooth loss. This is why care from a Galena dentist is necessary when you begin to notice changes to your gums. We can help by connecting you to one that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. After all, your smile needs regular attention!


How does the gum disease start? The early stages of periodontitis could occur due to lack of proper brushing and flossing. Others could develop it due to infrequent dental cleanings, or due to tobacco use, inflammatory illness, certain medications, or even gum disease in other family members. As we touched on above, warning signs include discomfort and bleeding in the gums. By seeing a dentist in Galena, AK you can receive gum treatments like deep cleaning to bring relief and improve your oral health. These treatment options could be covered by insurance plans.


If you experience these warning signs, or if you simply haven’t been to a dentist in recent months, you should schedule a visit. At Doctors Network, we can connect you to dentists in Galena who accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Good oral health is always possible, and we can help connect you to your new dentist!

It is paramount for kids to visit a pediatric dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Galena who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental 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 shield between their adult molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s teeth. 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 Galena.

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.
