Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is to address a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Herlong, CA area near you who takes Guardian!


When the dentist examines you, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, a dental restoration is chosen.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents need regular checkups and cleanings 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 wisdom teeth. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dental professional in Herlong, CA with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Herlong pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, these protective sealants can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Guardian family dentists in Herlong who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of caring for their smiles. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your children!

We have reached the time of the year when adults and children will be playing sports. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that their teeth could be at risk. In some situations, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become cracked or chipped, and when damage occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of infected or abscessed teeth. Doctors Network can help you access a dentist that is open on Saturdays in Herlong, CA who can examine the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth protects the dentition. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is fractured, this could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Herlong dentist who accepts Guardian for less severe emergencies. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth are causes for concern as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or crown falls out!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Herlong, CA dentist, you should take action by taking a store bought pain medication. Cloth or gauze can stem bleeding. Using an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the office. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When the season changes, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help you book an online appointment with Herlong dentists who take on patients who have Guardian and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your cosmetic dentist in Herlong, CA. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your concerns in order to come up with the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a cosmetic dentist in the Herlong, CA area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Guardian. We want to help you obtain a smile that is also healthy and strong!

When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Herlong endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Herlong, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Guardian.


If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make your treatment fit your budget. With a simple monthly rate, you can obtain a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even talking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a good Herlong dentist who is in-network with Guardian and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Herlong, CA who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

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.
