When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to see one of our great Metlakatla endodontists for a root canal retreatment.


Root canal treatment 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. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Metlakatla, AK 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 discount dental plan to make care affordable. With a simple monthly rate, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

When a tooth is severely damaged, it could become an infected tooth. The presence of abscess means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need root canal therapy. Fortunately, there are options available to treat an infection. Our network can help connect you to a Metlakatla dental professional for root canal therapy. We can also help find a restorative dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


A dental infection means that harmful bacteria have made contact with the inner pulp. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it controls the flow of blood and nutrients. Lack of treatment for an abscess could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include sensitivity. Don’t ignore a potential symptom. Talk to our team about finding a Metlakatla dentist skilled in performing root canals who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and payment plan options.


A root canal procedure is a restorative dental treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the root canal specialist examines the tooth, the carious tooth structures are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and a special restorative material is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a porcelain or metal crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and appear esthetically pleasing. This procedure helps relieve the pain.


Improved diet and oral hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future tooth cavity and dental infections. Routine six-month visits help as well. If you’re looking for root canal therapy in Metlakatla for infected teeth, contact Doctors Network or book an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is paramount for kids to visit a dental professional twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Metlakatla who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Metlakatla.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Metlakatla, AK that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Metlakatla dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

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 peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book a visit online with a Metlakatla dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been over six months since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-annual checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent dental caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures down the road. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Metlakatla, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great office.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove built-up that is tough to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your mouth feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Metlakatla dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Metlakatla dental practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental complications. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great 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.
