One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for many different reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a lasting toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Hughes, AK area near you who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dentist examines your teeth, digital x-rays are used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to address more severe cases. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have an aching tooth, use our search page to find Hughes dentists who are open on Saturdays and request an appointment.

Did you ever notice popping or crackling sound in the jaw? Do you have persistent migraines? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around 25 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dental office in Hughes, AK who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, one often increases the risk of the other. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, face, and neck. Bruxism means you often grind your teeth or clench your jaw. The stress caused by grinding could cause jaw pain and headaches. Teeth grinding could also weaken and damage the tooth structure. This damage could lead to decay, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Hughes who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following dental bonding, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with aligners or braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is an oral splint, which fits like a mouthguard. If you need to find treatment from a Hughes dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have an infected tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could prevent further complications. The restoration is custom-made for your dentition and can return function, health, and beauty to your smile. Our team can help find you a Hughes, AK dentist who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Do not risk a lost tooth!


Your first signs of trouble could be a tooth sensitivity. This could mean the presence of tooth decay. As tooth sensitivity worsens, you could risk the spread of infection or even missing teeth. An injury that breaks a tooth could also lead to complications like infection with time. In these situations, restorative treatment is usually necessary. If the tooth defect is too severe for a tooth-colored filling, then you may need to receive a dental crown.


The crown is a full restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire outer tooth structure. They could be made from strong, biocompatible materials like metal. However, lots of dentists in the Hughes, AK area offer more lifelike options crafted from ceramic. The total placement process takes about two visits to complete. The restoration, whether we use a metal or more aesthetic options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic ensures a balanced occlusion, protecting your smile from the onset of bruxism. If you have a tooth that needs treatment then use Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that fit your needs and take Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is essential for kids to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Hughes who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children 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 permanent teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify 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 damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Hughes.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Hughes, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Hughes dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment online with a Hughes dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, 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.
