One of the most common reasons to seek dental care is to address a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Shishmaref, AK area who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dentist examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address advanced decay. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children require regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Shishmaref, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Shishmaref pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth caries. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic 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 family dentists in Shishmaref 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 value of regular care. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you and your children!

We have reached the season when children and adults alike will be playing sports. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that they could sustain dental damage. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when trauma occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of infected or abscessed teeth. Doctors Network can help you access a 24-hour emergency care center in Shishmaref, AK who can examine the situation.


The outside of each tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is cracked, this could lead to painful symptoms. You need treatment even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Shishmaref dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for less severe emergencies. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling is compromised!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin looking for your Shishmaref, AK dentist, take steps to avoid complications by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. A piece of cloth or a tea bag can control any bleeding. Applying 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. They can be placed in a glass of milk or salt water.

When winter ends, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding or gaps between the teeth can be corrected with braces. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Shishmaref dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your cosmetic dentist in Shishmaref, AK. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your esthetic concerns to find the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could remove discolorations. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a cosmetic dentist in the Shishmaref, 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 looks amazing!

According to the research by the CDC, over half of adults ages 30 and older suffer from gum disease. Without treatment, this condition could lead to painful symptoms, including bleeding gums. The advanced stage, also known as periodontitis, could also cause adult tooth loss. This is why care from a Shishmaref dentist is necessary when you begin to notice red, sore, and bleeding 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 disease could occur due to lack of proper brushing and flossing. Some could develop it due to severe plaque and tartar buildup, or due to tobacco use, inflammatory illness, certain medications, or even other family members with poor gum health. As we touched on above, warning signs include discomfort and bleeding in the gums. By seeing a dentist in Shishmaref, AK you can receive periodontal treatments like deep cleaning to bring relief and improve your oral health. These treatments could be at least partially covered by insurance plans.


If you recognize these symptoms, or if you simply have not been to a dentist in the last six months, you should schedule a visit. At Doctors Network, we can connect you to dentists in Shishmaref who accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Good oral health is always an option, and we can help help you find the help you need!

It is important for children to visit a dental professional on a biannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Shishmaref who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with 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 adult teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective 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 toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Shishmaref.

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.
