A common reason to search for a dentist is pain in one or more teeth. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a lasting tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Killen, AL area who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines you, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, the right treatment is chosen.

Have you ever noticed popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have persistent migraines? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not just cause jaw pain, but actually crack or chip a tooth! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dental office in Killen, AL who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the jaw joints undergo excessive strain. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, and neck. Bruxism means you often grind your teeth or clench your jaw. The pressure could cause jaw pain and headaches. Teeth grinding could also weaken and damage the tooth structure. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that strain the jaw joints, and untreated TMJ disorder could mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have frequent discomfort in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Killen who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with aligners or braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dentists is a custom splint, which fits like a night-guard. If you need to find treatment from a Killen dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have a severely decayed tooth that needs treatment? If so, the placement of a dental crown could prevent further complications. The restoration is crafted for your smile and can give back beauty and health to your smile. Our team can help find you a Killen, AL dentist who can restore your teeth, and also who will accept Blue Cross Blue Shield. Do not risk an infection!


One of the first signs of trouble could be a toothache. This could be due to the presence of tooth decay. As tooth sensitivity worsens, you could risk worsening infection or even tooth loss. A trauma that fractures a tooth could also lead to complications like tooth decay or infection with time. In such cases, restorative treatment could save the tooth. If the tooth defect is too severe for a tooth-colored filling, then you may need crown placement.


The crown is a durable restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from durable, biocompatible materials like metal alloys. However, most cosmetic dentists in the Killen, AL area offer more natural options made from resin. The total placement process takes about two visits to complete. The restoration, whether we use a metal or more lifelike options, will be created specifically for your tooth. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic provides a balanced bite, protecting your teeth from the development of TMD. If you have a tooth that needs repair then talk to Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental practices that fit your needs and accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is imperative for your little ones to visit a dental professional every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Killen who takes 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 kids 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 protective layer between their back molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. 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 dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Killen.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used 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 Killen, AL that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Killen dentist, 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. 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 at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book a consultation online with a Killen dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
