When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our knowledgeable Herlong emergency dentists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Herlong, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Guardian.


If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become an abscessed tooth. The presence of an abscessed tooth means serious discomfort, and without intervention, it could result in progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need root canal therapy. Fortunately, there are options available to stop painful infections. Our network can help connect you to a Herlong dental professional for lifelike restorative care. We can also help find a restorative dentist that accepts Guardian.


A dental abscess means that harmful oral bacteria have made contact with the inner pulp. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it ensures a functional tooth. Lack of treatment for an infection could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include toothaches. Don’t ignore unexplained discomfort. Talk to our team about finding a Herlong dentist who accepts Guardian and other dental insurance plans.


A root canal procedure is a gentle endodontic treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the root canal specialist numbs the tooth, the infected tissues are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and a special restorative material is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a custom-made dental crown. The crown is designed to protect the tooth and look natural. This treatment prevents tooth loss.


Daily brushing and flossing can help lower your risk of future tooth decay and dental infections. Checkups and cleanings help as well. If you’re looking for treatment in Herlong for dental infection, talk to Doctors Network or request an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Guardian.

It is essential for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist every six months 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 life. If you are looking for a dental office in Herlong who accepts Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Herlong.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Herlong, CA that works with Guardian, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Herlong dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe whitening 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 brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Herlong dentist that accepts Guardian, 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.
