Doctors Network

The state of Kentucky is rich in U.S. history. It is the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, as well as being home to the Kentucky Derby and the original Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and much more. Today, over 4.4 million residents are proud to call the Bluegrass State home for much more than just its historical significance. With a relatively low cost of living and a thriving agricultural and industrial economy, Kentucky is one of the best places to raise a family. To make it even better, dentists across the state have teamed with Doctors Network to help all of their patients substantially lower their families’ dental health care costs.

The preventive benefits of attending regular checkups and cleanings can have a significant impact on more than just your oral health. For instance, biannual checkups and cleanings are often enough to keep a healthy smile, but if you falter in your schedule, then dental issues can form that require more expensive treatment. In Kentucky, seven percent of residents do not have dental insurance, and therefore may not be able to afford treatment. For patients with insurance, their coverage may still leave them with unexpectedly high out-of-pocket expenses. With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and local Kentucky dentists, families can significantly lighten the burden of dental health care costs, whether or not they already have dental insurance. Membership in the network guarantees that every checkup and cleaning appointment you attend only costs $25 per visit, and every other procedure you receive is discounted, often by up to 90%.

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.
