sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have a sleep disorder, you may not assume a dentist could help. But in fact, Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists can provide a comfortable and noninvasive solution to treat sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which as you sleep, the soft palate and the tissues around the throat collapse and cause you to stop breathing. Patients with OSA actually stop breathing briefly until the brain wakes them. Even as you think you slept well, you could feel tired! But when should you use the search tool on Doctors Network to find Kaktovik, AK dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Signs and symptoms of sleep apnea could include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and even trouble with interpersonal relationships could be factors too. Without treatment, the condition could affect your immune system and your cardiovascular health. When you experience similar symptoms, consider talking to a dentist. Often, oral appliance therapy can be used to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.

As children, 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 and grinding 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 have bruxism, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dentist in Kaktovik.


Your significant other may let you know that you have bruxism when you sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include toothaches and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the underlying factors. 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 these symptoms, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Have you experienced 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 chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. 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 dental professional in Kaktovik, 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 with jaw function. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, face, and neck. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. The pressure of clenching could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. 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 persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Kaktovik who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following recontouring, 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 an oral splint, which fits like a mouthguard. If you need to find treatment from a Kaktovik dentist. then contact our team!

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids 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 Kaktovik who accepts 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. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Kaktovik.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, 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 provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Kaktovik, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Kaktovik dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office 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 go with 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 one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book an appointment online with a Kaktovik dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Kaktovik dental practice we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental needs.

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.
