It all started with the outstanding and welcoming service I received from the receptionists and hygienists at Schambeau Dental Care in Bessemer. They’re all very kind and knowledgeable. Then Dr. Schambeau came in and explained everything thoroughly so that I fully understood my treatment plan. The patient care is amazing and the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend them to everyone in Bessemer, AL!

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have a poor sleeping pattern, you may not assume a dentist near you could help. In fact, dentists can provide a comfortable option to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that as you sleep, the soft palate and the tissues around the throat collapse and cut off airflow. People actually stop breathing for a few moments until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even as you assume you slept well, you’re actually sleep deprived! But when is it time to use the search tool on Doctors Network to find Forestdale, AL dentists who provide treatment options?


Symptoms of OSA include chronic snoring. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and irritability could be factors too. With no intervention, OSA could impact your immune system and your cardiovascular health. When you suffer similar symptoms, consider talking to a dentist. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be used to keep air passages clear while you sleep, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.


This week we are celebrating our dental care providers near Manhattan.

As children, many of us clench our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from grinding and clenching your teeth could lead to major complications. Chipped teeth and cracks could leave your smile vulnerable. You’re also more likely to develop tooth decay or even dental abscesses, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to book an online appointment with a dental professional in Forestdale.


Your significant other may let you know that you have bruxism when you sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and headaches. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with braces, or even replace missing teeth with prosthetics. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable occlusal night guards. So don’t ignore the possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts patients without dental insurance.

Have you experienced popping or crackling sound in the jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to a common but serious oral health issue. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually crack or chip a tooth! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dentist in Forestdale, AL who accepts self-pay patients.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. The pressure of clenching could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that upset bite balance, and untreated TMJ disorder could lead to bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have frequent discomfort in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Forestdale who accepts self-pay patients.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is an oral splint, which fits like a night-guard. If you need to find treatment from a Forestdale dentist. then contact our team!

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist twice a year for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching children how to take care of 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 Forestdale who accepts private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your children’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 child’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Forestdale.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased 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 Forestdale, AL that accepts patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Forestdale dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. 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 choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule an appointment online with a Forestdale dentist that takes patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been a long time since you last visited a dentist, you should schedule a checkup soon. When you go in for consistent dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent carious lesions from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures at a later time. If you are looking for a dentist in Forestdale, AL that accepts individuals with no dental insurance we can help you find a great office.

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

Once your cleaning is done, your Forestdale dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential problems. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can provide treatment options. The Forestdale dental office we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs. When you visit the dentist consistently they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation with a dentist that takes individuals with no dental insurance, we can help you find a great one.

Doctors Network helps keep that reputation strong by providing Alabamians with highly affordable direct dental plans. By signing up with a direct plan at your primary dentist’s office, you can enjoy significant savings on all aspects of your dental health care, even if you already have existing dental insurance coverage.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
