When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Kaktovik dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Kaktovik, AK that can offer retreatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become infected. The presence of abscess means serious discomfort, and without intervention, it could result in progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need restorative treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to stop painful infections. Our network can help connect you to a Kaktovik dental professional for root canal therapy. We can also help find an endodontist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


A dental infection means that harmful bacteria have made contact with sensitive tooth structure. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it keeps the tooth healthy. Lack of intervention for an infection could allow serious discomfort. A common warning sign of trouble could include pain when eating. Don’t ignore common warning signs. Talk to our team about finding a Kaktovik endodontist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and payment plan options.


A root canal procedure is a comfortable treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the endodontist plans the treatment, the carious tooth structures are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and gutta percha is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a custom-made dental crown. The crown is designed to protect the tooth and blend with the smile. This treatment prevents tooth loss.


Improved diet and oral hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future caries and dental infections. Checkups and cleanings help as well. If you’re looking for treatment in Kaktovik for an infected tooth, contact Doctors Network or book an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is paramount for children to visit a dental professional on a biannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Kaktovik 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 little one with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Kaktovik.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Kaktovik dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. 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 an at-home treatment, 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 roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a Kaktovik dentist that takes 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.
