One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Occidental, CA area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines your teeth, imaging technology is 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 address advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Adolescents need regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to find a family dentist in Occidental, CA with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Occidental pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.

We’ve reached the season when adults and children will be getting active. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that they could sustain dental trauma. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when trauma occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you find a 24-hour emergency care center in Occidental, CA who can repair your smile.


The outside of each tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is cracked, it could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment to safeguard your smile. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Occidental dentist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for less obvious emergency situations. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or crown is compromised!


After you visit Doctors Network and begin the search for your Occidental, CA dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. A piece of gauze can stem bleeding. A cold compress can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When winter ends, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Occidental dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


Correcting your smile starts with a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Occidental, CA. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your esthetic concerns in order to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not currently have a cosmetic dentist in the Occidental, CA area, we can find a dental care provider for you! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Occidental dentists for a root canal redo.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dentist in Occidental, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make care affordable. With a simple monthly rate, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even talking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a local Occidental oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Occidental, CA who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

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.
