sleep-apnea-treatment

When you suffer from a sleep disorder, you may not assume a dentist could help. But in fact, Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists can provide a comfortable option to stop nighttime airway obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which as you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the back of your mouth collapse and cause you to stop breathing. People actually stop breathing for a few moments until the brain alerts the body to resume breathing. Even as you think you slept well, you could feel tired! But when is it necessary to contact Doctors Network and find Gustavus, AK dentists who offer OSA treatment?


Symptoms of OSA could include chronic snoring. Daytime drowsiness, headaches, and even irritability could be factors too. Without intervention, the condition could impact your immune system and increase the risk of high blood pressure. When you experience similar signs, consider talking to a dentist. Often, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep airways open, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.


This week we are celebrating our dental care providers near Manhattan, NY.

In childhood, many of us grind our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adulthood, and the pressure from clenching your teeth could damage your smile. Chipped teeth and cracks could leave your smile vulnerable. You are also more likely to develop tooth decay or even dental infection, which is why if you grind your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dental practice in Gustavus.


Your partner or spouse may let you know about your disorder. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and headaches. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the oral health issues behind your bruxism. They could correct misalignment with braces, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable occlusal splints. So don’t ignore the indicators of bruxism, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Have you ever noticed a popping sensation in your 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 TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually crack or chip a tooth! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dentist in Gustavus, AK who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, and neck. Bruxism means you grind or clench your teeth nightly. The stress caused by grinding could cause jaw pain. 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 chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Gustavus who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following dental bonding, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is a custom splint, which fits like a mouthguard. If you need to find treatment from a Gustavus dentist. then contact our team!

It is crucial for children to visit the dentist bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching 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 pediatric dental office in Gustavus who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen 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 prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Gustavus.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that promote 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 Gustavus, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Gustavus dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

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 peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Gustavus dentist that accepts 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.
