Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Adolescents require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a family dentist in Kivalina, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Kivalina pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Kivalina who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. 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 first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. 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 teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a Blue Cross Blue Shield dentist in Kivalina, AK who can offer a effective tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Extracting a tooth could improve bite 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 appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for dentures. Your Kivalina general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function and health of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in the Kivalina, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a low monthly cost. For some, this could discount care by up to 90 percent!

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


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their arrival can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are more susceptible to bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can harm your teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Kivalina oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the extraction to make sure everything goes without complications. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also assess the appropriate type of sedation and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia, so you will not experience discomfort. 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 removed, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Kivalina dentists that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and can skillfully extract your wisdom teeth.

It is essential for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist on a biannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Kivalina who accepts 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 kids with dental 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 permanent teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Kivalina.

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

When you visit your Kivalina dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. 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 get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Kivalina dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic 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.
