Perhaps, the most common reason to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus congestion, 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 the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Occidental, CA community who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to treat advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have an aching tooth, use our search page to find Occidental walk-in dentists and request an appointment.

Have you experienced popping or crackling sound in the jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to a common but serious oral health issue. Around 25 million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in Occidental, CA who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, we often find these are related. TMJ disorder develops when the joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you often grind your teeth or clench your jaw. The pressure of clenching could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that upset bite balance, and untreated TMJ disorder could mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Occidental who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following recontouring, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is an oral appliance, which fits like a night-guard. If you need to find treatment from a Occidental dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have a crackled or chipped tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is crafted for your smile and can provide function, health, and beauty to your smile. Our team can help find you a Occidental, CA dental professional who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Blue Cross Blue Shield. Do not risk an infection!


One of the initial signs of trouble could be a toothache. This could mean the presence of a cavity. As toothache worsens, you could risk worsening infection or even the loss of your tooth. A trauma that chips a tooth could also lead to complications like infection with time. In such cases, restorative treatment could stop discomfort. If the problem is too severe for a dental filling, then you may need to receive a dental crown.


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 gold. However, lots of dentists in the Occidental, CA area offer more natural options fabricated from ceramic. The total placement process takes one to two visits on average. The crown, whether we use a metal or more natural-looking options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic provides a balanced bite, protecting your teeth from the development of TMD. If you have teeth that need treatment then use Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental practices that meet your needs and accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Occidental who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


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


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s enamel. 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. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Occidental.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk 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 disappointing results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Occidental, CA that works with 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 in-office or even at-home treatment option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly 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 choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Occidental dentist that takes 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.
