Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Kids need routine checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to request an online appointment a pediatric dental professional in Ladera, CA with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Ladera pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, sealants can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Guardian dentists in Ladera who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also learn the value of good oral hygiene. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you and your children!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the 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 Guardian dentist or oral surgeon in Ladera, CA who can offer a safe tooth extraction as needed.


As we discussed earlier, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Taking out a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! 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 dentures. Your Ladera general dentist could use the extraction to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find your dentist in the Ladera, CA area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90 percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom teeth extracted and are eager to divulge their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dental professional. If you need your wisdom teeth pulled, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Ladera, CA that accepts Guardian.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt, their arrival can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are probably going to be affected by bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can affect your teeth. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Ladera oral surgeon quickly.


If you need wisdom tooth removal, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition 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 feel 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 pulled, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Ladera dentists that accept Guardian and can skillfully pull your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for your little ones to visit the dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Ladera who takes Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries 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 great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Ladera.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Ladera, CA that takes Guardian, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Ladera dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. 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 go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Ladera dentist that takes Guardian, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly checkups, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent carious lesions from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Ladera, CA that takes Guardian we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar that is difficult to remove at home — even with fantastic brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your smile feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Ladera dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Ladera practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your teeth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that accepts Guardian, we can help you find a great 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.
