When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. 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 Shungnak endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Shungnak, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have an insurance plan 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 receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

When a tooth is severely damaged, it could become an abscessed tooth. The presence of an abscessed tooth means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to missing teeth. This is why your tooth may need treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to stop painful infections. Our network can help connect you to a Shungnak endodontist 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 keeps the tooth healthy. Lack of treatment for an infection could allow serious discomfort. A common warning sign of trouble could include pain when eating. Don’t ignore unexplained discomfort. Talk to our team about finding a Shungnak endodontist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and other forms of coverage.


A root canal procedure is a restorative dental 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 a special restorative material is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a custom-made dental crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and look natural. This procedure helps relieve the pain.


Improved diet and oral 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 Shungnak for infected teeth, contact 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 imperative for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Shungnak 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 little children with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen 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 child’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Shungnak.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried 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 Shungnak, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shungnak dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 use along with a safe peroxide solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Shungnak dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been over six months since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-annual visits, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent dental caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures down the road. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Shungnak, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great practice.

When you go in for an exam, your dentist will begin with a professional cleaning. This will remove tartar that is difficult to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your mouth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Shungnak dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Shungnak practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental complications. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that works with 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.
