sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have chronic snoring, you may not think a dentist near you could help. But in fact, Medicaid dentists can provide a comfortable option to treat sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which when you sleep, the soft palate and the back of your mouth collapse and cut off airflow. Patients literally stop breathing for a few moments until the brain alerts the body to resume breathing. Even as you believe you slept well, you could experience daytime drowsiness! But when is it necessary to contact Doctors Network to find Occidental, CA dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Symptoms of OSA could include chronic snoring. Daytime headaches, and even moodiness could be factors too. With no treatment, the condition could strain your immune system and increase the risk of heart disease. When you experience similar symptoms, consider seeing a dental professional. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep air passages clear while you sleep, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.


This week we are honoring our dentists near Manhattan, NY.

As children, many of us develop teeth grinding for short periods of time. The issue tends to last only a few months. But for some, bruxism could mean chronic teeth grinding into and throughout adulthood, and the pressure from clenching and grinding your teeth could lead to major complications. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could leave your smile vulnerable. You are also more likely to develop cavities or even infected teeth, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dentist in Occidental.


Your partner or spouse 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 oral health issues behind your bruxism. They could correct misalignment with clear aligners, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral splints. So don’t ignore the indicators of bruxism, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Medicaid.

Have you experienced popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have persistent migraines? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around 25 million people in the United States suffer from chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dental office in Occidental, CA who accepts Medicaid.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the jaw joints undergo excessive strain. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, face, and neck. Bruxism means you grind or clench your teeth nightly. The pressure of clenching could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also weaken and damage the tooth structure. This damage could lead to decayed teeth, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Occidental who accepts Medicaid.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following recontouring, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is an oral appliance, which fits like a nightguard. If you need to find treatment from a Occidental dentist. then contact our team!

It is essential for your little ones to visit a dental professional on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Occidental who takes Medicaid, you are on the right website.


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


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists 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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Occidental.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Occidental, CA that accepts Medicaid, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Occidental dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. 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 get whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide 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 online with a Occidental dentist that accepts Medicaid, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been a long time since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for consistent dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent infections from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Occidental, CA that takes Medicaid 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 and tartar that is tough to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your mouth feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Occidental dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Occidental practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental complications. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can keep track of the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that works with Medicaid, 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.
