When you experience chronic snoring, you may not think a dentist could help. In fact, Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists can provide a comfortable option to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which as you sleep, the soft palate and the back of your mouth collapse and cause you to stop breathing. Patients actually stop breathing for a few moments until the brain alerts the body to resume breathing. Even as you assume you slept well, you’re actually sleep deprived! But when is it time to talk to Doctors Network to find Mentasta Lake, AK dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Symptoms of OSA could include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and irritability could occur too. With no treatment, the condition could even affect your immune system and your cardiovascular health. When you suffer similar signs, consider finding out your treatment options. Often, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.


This week we are honoring our dental professionals near Manhattan, NY.

When we are kids, many of us develop teeth grinding for short periods of time. The issue tends to last only a few months. But for some, bruxism could mean chronic teeth grinding into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from clenching your teeth could injure your teeth. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could cause discomfort. You are also more likely to develop tooth decay or even dental infection, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to book an appointment with a dentist in Mentasta Lake.


Your significant other 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 possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Did you ever notice popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have persistent migraines? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not just cause jaw pain, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can find the right dental office in Mentasta Lake, 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 opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the head and neck. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. 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 upset bite balance, and untreated TMJ disorder could lead to bruxism, 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 Mentasta Lake 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 orthodontic treatment 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 Mentasta Lake dentist. then contact our team!

It is essential for your little ones to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Mentasta Lake who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with 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 harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify 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 child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. 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 Mentasta Lake.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Mentasta Lake, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Mentasta Lake dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. 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 with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book an appointment online with a Mentasta Lake 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.
