Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Children require 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 arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to request an online appointment a family dentist in Shishmaref, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Shishmaref pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, these protective sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Shishmaref who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care children not only enjoy healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of regular care. Good oral health habits 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 practice for you!

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, 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 find a Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Shishmaref, AK who can provide a effective tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, cavities 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 treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. 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 Shishmaref dentist could use this to improve the function, health, and even the beauty 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 find your dentist in the Shishmaref, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, 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 cut the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dentist or an 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 the procedure and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Shishmaref, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars are 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 arrival can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to bacteria and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very painful and can affect your existing teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Shishmaref dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom teeth 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 could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of sedation and the condition of your existing teeth and nerve. 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 discomfort. 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 be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Shishmaref dentists that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can skillfully pull your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a dental professional twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Shishmaref 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 kids with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s teeth. 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 Shishmaref.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll 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 give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shishmaref, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shishmaref dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. 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 fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Shishmaref 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.
