Doctors Network

As the home to Plymouth Rock, the Boston Tea Party, the country’s first university (Harvard), and the birth of the American industrial revolution, Massachusetts has a lot to be proud of. As one of today’s most populous states, it is the proud home of over 6.8 million Americans of all ages and backgrounds. As a state that is known for pioneering change, Massachusetts is also proud to make high-quality dental care accessible to all of its residents. Partnering with Doctors Network, dentists across Massachusetts now offer direct dental plans that grant patients access to enormous discounts on their dental health care. Members save on treatments ranging from preventive checkups and cleanings to cosmetic, restorative, and prosthetic services, as needed.

Doctors Network

With over six million people to care for, Massachusetts makes good oral and overall health a priority. In fact, less than 3.3% of people in the entire state do not have insurance. Nevertheless, the costs of dental health care continue to rise, and in many cases, even comprehensive dental insurance may be insufficient to protect patients from high out-of-pocket expenses. To help protect families from inadequate insurance coverage, or from the lack of insurance altogether, Doctors Network and dentists across Massachusetts now offer direct dental plans to lower the costs of all dental treatments. Under the plan, checkup and cleaning appointments are only $25 per visit, with no extra charge for routine X-rays. Personalized treatments and procedures, including fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, dental implants, Invisalign®, and more, are guaranteed to be reduced significantly, sometimes by up to 90%.

He went on to Brandeis University, earning a bachelor’s degree in biology in 1957. From 1958 to 1962, Dr. Conti pursued a unique dual education, studying voice at the New England Conservatory of Music while simultaneously earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During this time, he also worked as a biologist in the Cancer Research Department at Tufts Medical Center, conducting steroid screenings on a National Institutes of Health Grant and co-authoring several research papers.

    From 1970 to 1980, Dr. Conti taught at the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School, where he helped establish and lead the post-graduate dental assisting and dental laboratory technology programs. The program earned national accreditation in its first year, a milestone that Dr. Conti is particularly proud of.

    Dr. Conti has also been deeply involved in community service. In 1971, he helped found Project Triangle, a vocational rehabilitation program for individuals with disabilities. The program began in a small, abandoned church in Malden with just five clients and one staff member. Dr. Conti served as the first President of the Board of Directors for 15 years and remained on the board for another 20 years. Today, Triangle, Inc. serves over 3,000 individuals annually and has grown to include North and South Shore facilities, 10 community residences, and a budget of approximately $20 million.

    My mom worked at a dentist office, so I hold my standards pretty high when it comes to dental offices. I was anxious when we moved to Brockton because I knew my mom wouldn’t be doing my cleanings anymore. But so many people said they loved Dr. Bae, so I made some cleaning appointments for myself and my kids. I went in assuming they wouldn’t compare to the office my mom worked at, but I was amazed by how kind and sweet the staff was! The lobby was cozy, parking was easy, and they had a lot of new equipment. Let’s just say, I was pretty impressed. Plus, they did a great job with my kids, and now, they look forward to getting their teeth cleaned! I have nothing but awesome things to say about Dr. Bae and his staff at Brockton Family Dental!

What is a root canal?

d
disease-examiner-811

Root canal therapy, also known as RCT, is a dental service performed to treat infections or damage within the pulp chamber of a tooth. The pulp is the tissue located inside the tooth, and it contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. When the pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to tooth decay, trauma, or other factors, a root canal treatment may be needed to save the tooth and eliminate pain. Here is how a root canal treatment is performed: 1. Diagnosis and Examination: The first step of the root canal treatment is a complete examination by a general dentist or an endodontist. This typically entails taking X-rays to evaluate the extent of the infection and determine if a root canal is actually needed. Symptoms that may signal the need for a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling of the gums or face, or a pimple-like bump on the gum adjacent to the tooth. 2. Local Anesthesia: Before beginning the treatment, the dentist will inject local anesthesia to numb the infected tooth and surrounding soft tissues. This ensures that the patient stays comfortable throughout the treatment. 3. Accessing the Pulp: Once the tooth is numbed, the endodontist will drill a small hole in the top of the tooth, called an access, to reach the infected or inflamed pulp tissue. This allows the dentist to remove the diseased pulp and clean the root canals. 4. Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canals: Using specialized tools, the dentist will remove the infected or damaged pulp from the root canals. The canals are cleaned and shaped to remove the remaining bacteria, debris, and infection. Irrigation with antimicrobial solutions will then disinfect the canals. 5. Filling the Root Canals: After all the canals have been cleaned and shaped (widened), they are filled with a bio-compatible filling material called gutta-percha. This seals off the canals to prevent re-contamination and provides protection for the tooth structure. 6. Sealing the Access Cavity: After the root canals have been filled, the access cavity is covered with a temporary or permanent filling materials to prevent bacteria and debris from entering it and causing an infection. 7. Restoration: Sometimes, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy may need additional restoration, such as a dental crown (cap), to protect and restore the tooth function. A dental crown is placed on the tooth to restore its natural appearance and functionality. Root canal treatment is very successful in saving teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted because of the infection of the pulp. With proper maintenance and good oral hygiene, a tooth that has gotten a root canal can function normally for years or even decades, allowing patients to preserve their natural smiles.

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.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
