Doctors Network

Pennsylvania holds a special place in the history of the United States. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell originated in Pennsylvania, as did groundbreaking inventions like the first computer and the Philly cheesesteak. Today, it is home to nearly 12.8 million Americans, almost half of whom are under the age of 18 or over the age of 65 who require especially good, consistent dental health care. With the help of Doctors Network, dentists across the Keystone State can help ensure that their patients can enjoy the benefits of excellent dental health and the significant cost-saving advantages of direct dental plans. Doctors Network is not an insurance company, and the cost of a direct dental plan is set by your dentist. Therefore, the plan can help patients reduce the costs of their dental care even if they already have insurance coverage.

    I don’t even know how to tell you how incredible Dr. Patoliya and his staff at Advanced Dental Designs of Sellersville are. My husband and I started seeing Dr. Patoliya when we first moved to Perkasie, PA. From the start, they treated us like family. The receptionist is always so kind and inviting, and she always seems to remember little details about our family, which is amazing. Dr. Patoliya has done a lot of top-quality work on my teeth over the past few years and always goes the extra mile for me. When I had a dental emergency on a Sunday night, he told me to come on in, and he fixed me right up, which more than exceeded my expectations! The office is so beautiful and the employees are so fun to talk to that I don’t even bother reading a book or magazine. Dr. Patoliya is very detailed and explains everything he’s doing step by step, which always reassures me. My appointments at Advanced Dental Designs of Sellersville have been the best dental experiences of my life!

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.
