Adults are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Children require routine 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 misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dental professional in Emmonak, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Emmonak pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Emmonak who can provide children’s dentistry, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also learn the importance of regular care. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that initial dental exam. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you and your family!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries 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 damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Emmonak, AK who can offer a gentle tooth extraction as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Removing a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and overall esthetics. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Emmonak general dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in the Emmonak, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth pulled, it is important to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Emmonak, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


The third molars are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They most commonly appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last teeth to erupt, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your dentition. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Emmonak oral surgeon or dentist hastily.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of sedation and the position of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these details, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not experience any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will get information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Emmonak dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can effectively extract your wisdom teeth.

It is crucial for kids to visit a dental professional every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Emmonak who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your children’s teeth. 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. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Emmonak.

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

When you visit your Emmonak dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 choose whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Emmonak 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.
