When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might 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 schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Lake Minchumina dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK that can offer another root canal 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 your treatment fit your budget. With a monthly membership fee, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is decayed, it could become an abscessed tooth. The presence of infection means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need restorative treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to treat an infection. Our network can help connect you to a Lake Minchumina dental professional for root canal therapy. We can also help find a dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


A dental infection means that harmful bacteria have made contact with the inner pulp. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it ensures a functional tooth. Lack of intervention for an infection could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include swelling near the aching tooth. Don’t ignore a potential symptom. Talk to our team about finding a Lake Minchumina dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and other forms of coverage.


A root canal procedure is a gentle endodontic treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the dental specialist numbs the tooth, 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 porcelain or gold crown. The crown is designed to protect the tooth and appear esthetically pleasing. This procedure stops the spread of infection.


Improved diet and oral hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future tooth decay and dental infections. Dental exams help as well. If you’re looking for root canal therapy in Lake Minchumina for an infected tooth, talk to Doctors Network or schedule an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is essential for your little ones to visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Lake Minchumina who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Lake Minchumina.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Lake Minchumina dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a visit with a Lake Minchumina dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last went to a dentist, you should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-yearly dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure nothing is amiss.

If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove built-up that is hard to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your teeth feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is done, your Lake Minchumina dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential complications. Should they notice something awry, they will explain your treatment options. The Lake Minchumina practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental complications.

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.
