Adults are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Adolescents need regular checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an appointment with a pediatric dentist in Bear Creek, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin when all baby teeth come in, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Bear Creek pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, 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 dentists in Bear Creek who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy and strong 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 consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book an online appointment with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist or oral surgeon in Bear Creek, AK who can provide a effective tooth extraction as needed.


As we discussed earlier, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Extracting a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Bear Creek dentist could use this to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a general dentist in the Bear Creek, AK area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could discount care by up to 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth pulled and are eager to describe their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth pulled, it is best to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Bear Creek, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this occurs, they are probably going to be affected by abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can harm your existing teeth. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Bear Creek dentist quickly.


If you need wisdom teeth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the extraction to make sure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also assess the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation, so you will not experience pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Bear Creek dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively remove your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for kids to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect 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 Bear Creek who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children 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 back molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


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

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Bear Creek, AK that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Bear Creek dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or even 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 get whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Bear Creek dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
