Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is discomfort caused by cavities. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for many different reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Kaktovik, AK area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines you, advanced technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For children and adults alike, a dental filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A crown could also be used to address major cavities. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search module to connect with Kaktovik dentists who are open on Saturdays and book an appointment online.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children need regular dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a family dentist in Kaktovik, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin when all baby teeth come in, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Kaktovik pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth cavities. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, sealants can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Kaktovik 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 value of regular care. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your family!

We’ve reached the season when children and adults alike will be enjoying sports and outdoor activities. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that they could sustain dental damage. In some situations, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when damage occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist that is open on Sundays in Kaktovik, AK who can repair your smile.


The outside of each tooth is coated in enamel. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is cracked, it could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Kaktovik emergency dentist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for less obvious emergency situations. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling comes loose!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin looking for your Kaktovik, AK dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. Cloth or gauze can be helpful also. Using an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the dentist. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When the season changes, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding or gaps between the teeth can be corrected with braces. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help you find great Kaktovik cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


Correcting your smile starts with a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Kaktovik, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns to find a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not have a cosmetic dentist in the Kaktovik, AK area, we can connect you with one! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that is also healthy and strong!

According to studies by the CDC, over half of the population older than 30 suffer from poor periodontal health. Without treatment, this disease could lead to painful symptoms, including red and bleeding gums. The advanced stage, also known as periodontitis, could also cause the loss of your teeth. This is why care from a Kaktovik dental professional is necessary when you begin to notice red, sore, and bleeding gums. We can help by connecting you to one that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield. After all, your smile is important!


How does the poor gum health come about? The early stages of periodontitis could occur due to poor oral hygiene habits. Some could develop it due to severe plaque and tartar buildup, or due to gingivitis, tobacco use, certain medications, or even gum disease in other family members. As discussed above, tell-tell signs include sore and bleeding gums. By seeing a dentist in Kaktovik, AK you can receive gum treatments like pocket reduction surgery to bring relief and improve your oral health. These treatments could be covered or partially covered with insurance plans.


If you recognize these symptoms, or if you simply haven’t been to a dentist in recent months, you should book an appointment. At Doctors Network, we can find the right dentists in Kaktovik who accept Blue Cross Blue Shield. Strong periodontal health is always an option, and we can help connect you to your new dentist!

It is crucial for children to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Kaktovik who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster 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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Kaktovik.

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.
