sleep-apnea-treatment

When you experience chronic snoring, you may not assume a dentist near you could help. In fact, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists can often provide a comfortable and noninvasive solution to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that when you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the back of your mouth collapse and cut off airflow. Patients with OSA actually stop breathing for a few moments until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even as you think you slept well, you could feel tired! But when is it time to talk to Doctors Network to find Shaktoolik, AK dentists who provide treatment options?


Warning signs include chronic snoring. Daytime drowsiness, and even moodiness could be factors too. With no intervention, sleep apnea could even strain your immune system and increase the risk of high blood pressure. When you suffer similar signs, consider finding out your treatment options. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be used to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.

When we are kids, many of us develop teeth grinding for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean grinding and clenching continue into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from grinding and clenching your teeth could lead to major complications. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could cause discomfort. You’re also more likely to develop cavities or even dental abscesses, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to book an online appointment with a dental professional in Shaktoolik.


Your partner or spouse may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and headaches. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with clear aligners, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral appliances. So don’t ignore the possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Did you ever notice popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can find the right dentist in Shaktoolik, 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 joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you clench or grind your teeth in your sleep. The pressure could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to decayed teeth, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that strain the jaw joints, and untreated TMJ disorder could mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have frequent discomfort in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Shaktoolik who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


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

It is essential for your little ones to visit the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Shaktoolik who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 shield between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings 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 children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Shaktoolik.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shaktoolik, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Shaktoolik 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 come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a Shaktoolik dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

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.
