A common reason to seek dental care is pain in one or more teeth. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a persistent toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Tonsina, AK area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to address major cavities. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have an aching tooth, use our search module to connect with Tonsina emergency dentists and book an appointment.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children require regular checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to request an online appointment a pediatric dentist in Tonsina, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Tonsina pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, this layer of acrylic can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Tonsina who can provide children’s dentistry, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of good oral hygiene. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you!

We have reached the time of the year when children and adults alike will be getting active. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that they could sustain dental trauma. Sometimes, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become cracked or chipped, and when damage occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of aching teeth. Doctors Network can help you access a dentist that is open on Sundays in Tonsina, AK who can assess the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth protects the dentition. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is chipped, this could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Tonsina dentist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for less severe emergencies. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a crown or filling falls out!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Tonsina, AK dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. A piece of cloth or a tea bag can control any bleeding. Applying an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them in a sealed container. They can be placed in a glass of milk or salt water.

When spring arrives, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to fight teeth stains. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Tonsina dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


Correcting your smile starts with a cosmetic consultation with your dentist in Tonsina, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent and cause of your concerns in order to come up with the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you don’t have a dentist in the Tonsina, AK area, we can connect you with one! 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 makes you feel great!

When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our knowledgeable Tonsina emergency dentists for additional endodontic treatment.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dentist in Tonsina, AK that can offer retreatment and accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a discount dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a good Tonsina dentist who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. 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 or oral surgeon in Tonsina, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

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.
