Adults are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Children 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, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an online appointment a pediatric dentist in Santa Margarita, CA with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Santa Margarita pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, these protective sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Santa Margarita who can provide children’s dentistry, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also understand 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 right practice for you!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is chipped, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book an online appointment with a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who can provide a effective tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Extracting a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Santa Margarita general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Santa Margarita, CA area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could discount care by up to ninety percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dental professional. If you need these teeth extracted, it is best to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Santa Margarita, CA that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They most commonly appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last adult teeth, their presence can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to harmful bacteria. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your dentition. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Santa Margarita dentist hastily.


If you need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the removal to ensure everything goes without complications. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will receive information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Santa Margarita dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively pull your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for kids to visit a dental professional every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dental office in Santa Margarita who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Santa Margarita.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Santa Margarita, CA that works with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Santa Margarita dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. 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 get whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Santa Margarita dentist that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove tartar that is tough to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your mouth feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is over, your Santa Margarita dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they can suggest the proper treatment.

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.
