When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Sumiton dentists for a root canal retreatment.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. Often, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Sumiton, AL that can offer another root canal and accepts new patients.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become an infected tooth. The presence of an abscessed tooth means serious discomfort, and without intervention, it could result in tooth loss. This is why your tooth may need root canal therapy. Fortunately, there are options available to treat an infection. Our network can help connect you to a Sumiton dental professional for lifelike restorative care. We can also help find a dentist that accepts self-pay patients.


A dental abscess means that harmful anaerobic bacteria have made contact with interior nerve tissues. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it controls the flow of blood and nutrients. Lack of intervention for an abscess could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include swelling near the aching tooth. Don’t ignore common warning signs. Talk to our team about finding a Sumiton dental professional who accepts self-pay patients and other forms of coverage.


A root canal procedure is a gentle endodontic treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the dentist plans the treatment, the diseased pulp tissues are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and a special restorative material is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a custom-made dental crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and appear esthetically pleasing. This procedure stops the spread of infection.


Good dental hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future caries and dental infections. Routine six-month visits help as well. If you’re looking for root canal therapy in Sumiton for an infected tooth, contact Doctors Network or book an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept self-pay patients.

It is imperative for kids to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Sumiton who accepts uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen 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 little one’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Sumiton.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Sumiton, AL that accepts self-pay patients, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Sumiton dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Sumiton dentist that accepts self-pay patients, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been a long time since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent dental caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Sumiton, AL that takes uninsured individuals we can help you find a great practice.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar that is hard to remove at home — even with fantastic brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your mouth feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is done, your Sumiton dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, 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 Sumiton dental practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your teeth.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
