When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Alakanuk dentists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dental office in Alakanuk, AK that can offer another root canal 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 membership plan to make your treatment fit your budget. With a simple monthly rate, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become an abscessed tooth. The presence of abscess means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to missing teeth. This is why your tooth may need restorative treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to stop painful infections. Our network can help connect you to a Alakanuk endodontist for lifelike restorative care. We can also help find an endodontist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


A dental infection means that harmful oral bacteria have made contact with interior nerve tissues. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it controls the flow of blood and nutrients. Lack of intervention for an infection could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include toothaches. Don’t ignore a potential symptom. Talk to our team about finding a Alakanuk root canal specialist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and payment plan options.


A root canal procedure is a comfortable treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the dentist numbs the tooth, the diseased pulp tissues are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and gutta percha is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a porcelain or gold crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and blend with the smile. This treatment prevents tooth loss.


Good dental hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future tooth decay and dental infections. Routine six-month visits help as well. If you’re looking for treatment in Alakanuk for infected teeth, talk to Doctors Network or schedule an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is imperative for your little ones to visit a dental professional every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Alakanuk who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Alakanuk.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Alakanuk, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Alakanuk dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 go with whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request an appointment online with a Alakanuk dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been a long time since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule a consultation soon. When you go in for bi-annual dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Alakanuk, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great match.

When you go in for an exam, your dentist will begin with a professional cleaning. This will remove plaque and tartar that is tough to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your smile feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is done, your Alakanuk dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential complications. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can provide treatment options. The Alakanuk dentist 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.
