Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents require regular checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to request an online appointment a family dentist in Dot Lake, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Dot Lake pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth caries. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, this layer of acrylic can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Dot Lake who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the importance of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you and your children!

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Dot Lake, AK who can provide a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Taking out a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Dot Lake dentist could use the procedure to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Dot Lake, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to 90 percent!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom tooth pulled and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need these teeth pulled, it is best to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Dot Lake, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars are located in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their presence can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very painful and can damage your teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Dot Lake oral surgeon or dentist as soon as possible.


If you need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will get post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Dot Lake dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can adeptly remove your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit a pediatric dentist on a biannual basis 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 pediatric dentist in Dot Lake who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups 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 barrier between their adult molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Dot Lake.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture 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 Dot Lake, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Dot Lake dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even 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. 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 an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a consultation with a Dot Lake dentist that accepts 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.
