A common reason 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 be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Selawik, AK community who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dentist examines you, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a dental filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A crown could also be used to treat major cavities. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search page to connect with Selawik walk-in dentists and request an appointment.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Kids require regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a pediatric dentist in Selawik, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Selawik pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth cavities. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Selawik who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of caring for their smiles. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you!

We’ve reached the time of the year when kids and adults alike will be getting active. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that dental injuries are possible. Sometimes, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when damage occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of aching teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Selawik, AK 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 before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Selawik dentist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for more minor complaints. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth are causes for concern as well. You also need care if a crown or filling comes loose!


Once you visit Doctors Network and begin searching for your Selawik, AK dentist, you should take action by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. A piece of cloth 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 to the office. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When spring arrives, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want to look our best 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 can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Selawik cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


The first step toward a new smile is a cosmetic consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Selawik, AK. The doctor will carefully assess your cosmetic concerns. 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 brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not currently have a cosmetic dentist in the Selawik, AK area, we can help! 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 becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Selawik dentists for further treatments.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Selawik, AK that can offer retreatment 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 obtain a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking 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 help you find a local Selawik dentist who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers jawbone grafting. 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 mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandibular bone.


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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Selawik, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment 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.
