A common reason to seek dental care is discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a lingering toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Occidental, CA area who takes Medicaid!


When the dental professional examines your teeth, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to treat advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search page to find Occidental walk-in dentists and request an appointment.

Have you ever noticed a popping sensation in your jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to a common but serious oral health issue. Around 25 million people in the United States suffer from chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually wear down outer tooth structure! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can help you find a dental professional in Occidental, CA who accepts Medicaid.


While very different from one another, we often find these are related. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, and neck. Bruxism means you clench or grind your teeth in your sleep. The pressure of clenching could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. This damage could lead to decay, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that strain the jaw joints, and untreated TMJ disorder could mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Occidental who accepts Medicaid.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following recontouring, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dental professionals is an oral appliance, which fits like a mouthguard. If you need to find treatment from a Occidental dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have a severely decayed tooth that needs treatment? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is custom-made for your smile and can return beauty, function, and health to your smile. Our team can help find you a Occidental, CA dental professional who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Medicaid. Do not risk an infection!


One of the first signs of trouble could be a toothache. This could be due to the presence of a cavity. As discomfort worsens, you could risk the spread of infection or even tooth loss. A trauma that breaks a tooth could also lead to complications like infection and tooth decay with time. In such cases, restorative treatment could stop discomfort. If the problem is too severe for a tooth filling, then you may need a full dental restoration.


The crown is a full restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from durable, biocompatible materials like metal. However, many dentists in the Occidental, CA area offer more natural options fabricated from ceramic. The total placement process takes about two visits to complete. The crown, whether we use a metal or more lifelike options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic ensures a balanced bite, protecting your smile from the development of TMD. If you have teeth that need restoration then contact Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that fit your needs and accept Medicaid.

It is important for children to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Occidental who accepts Medicaid, you are on the right website.


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


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your children’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 dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Occidental.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Occidental, CA that works with Medicaid, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Occidental dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly 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 solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Occidental dentist that takes Medicaid, we can help you find a fantastic one.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can suggest the proper treatment.

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.
