Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents need regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Occidental, CA with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Occidental pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids 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 lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Occidental who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy and strong 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 initial dental exam. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your children!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need treatment. 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 damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Occidental, CA who can provide a safe 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 periodontitis. Removing a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! 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 dentures. Your Occidental general dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in the Occidental, CA area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a low monthly cost. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom teeth pulled and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need these teeth extracted, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Occidental, CA that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their arrival can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are probably going to be affected by bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Occidental oral surgeon or dentist quickly.


If you need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of sedation and the state of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these facts, 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 pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will get information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Occidental dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively pull your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Occidental who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen 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 dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Occidental.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Occidental, CA that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Occidental dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book a consultation with a Occidental 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.
