When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to see one of our knowledgeable Shaktoolik endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, 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 compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Shaktoolik, 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 direct dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a simple monthly rate, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is decayed, it could become an infected tooth. The presence of infection means serious discomfort, and without intervention, it could lead to missing teeth. This is why your tooth may need treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to treat an infection. Our network can help connect you to a Shaktoolik 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 anaerobic 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 treatment for an infection could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include sensitivity. Don’t ignore unexplained discomfort. Talk to our team about finding a Shaktoolik dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and payment plan options.


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


Good dental hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future tooth cavity and dental infections. Checkups and cleanings help as well. If you’re looking for root canal therapy in Shaktoolik for an infected tooth, talk to Doctors Network or request an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is crucial for kids to visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dental office 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 kid with protective sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Shaktoolik.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried 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 Shaktoolik, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shaktoolik dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. 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 go with whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to book an appointment online with a Shaktoolik dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic 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.
