Doctors Network

Mississippi has been home to many of the world’s most famous entertainers, including Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey, Jimmy Buffett, and many more. It is also the state in which President Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear during his famous hunting trip, spawning the creation of everyone’s favorite childhood toy, the Teddy Bear. Mississippi is chock full of fun facts, trivia, and historical occurrences, but that doesn’t distract its over 2.9 million residents from taking good care of themselves today. With the help of Doctors Network, patients and families across the Magnolia State can now enjoy higher quality dental care at substantially reduced costs. By signing up with your primary dentist, you can receive membership in the network’s direct dental plan, which gives you access to discounts on every treatment option your dentist offers.

Doctors Network

With over a quarter of the population being children under the age of 18, Mississippi residents focus on taking care of family. Although nearly 15% of residents don’t have insurance, Doctors Network is helping families live healthier, happier lives by making professional dental health care much more affordable. Through Doctors Network, patients of all ages can attend routine checkups and cleanings for only $25 per visit, making it easier to stick to their dentists’ recommended schedule of preventive care. This reduces the risks of patients experiencing serious issues that require more extensive, and more expensive, dental treatment plans. The costs of all other treatments, such as tooth fillings, root canal therapy, dental crowns, Invisalign®, dental implants, and more, are dramatically reduced, often by up to 90%. The direct dental plan is not insurance, and signing up for the plan only requires a low monthly fee, which is set directly by your dentist.

    Dr. Roberson is a fantastic dentist. I’ve had a lot of less-than-stellar experiences with other dentists, but I was referred to Global Dental Center in Memphis, TN. Based on all the great reviews, I decided to give her a chance. The field of dentistry is a science and an art, and I was lucky to find a dentist who was great at both! As soon as I met her, I could tell she was a gifted, intelligent, and self-assured dentist. She actually listens to her patients, takes what they say into consideration, and takes her time to diagnose and pick the best treatment plan. My bite has been misaligned for quite a while, and other dentists told me there was nothing they could do. Dr. Roberson, however, patiently adjusted each crown, and now, I can chew normally! She has a laid-back personality that instantly calms my nerves. Plus, she’s a perfectionist. I’ve had a lot of dental work done in my day, and I guarantee she’s the best dentist I’ve ever met. From the front office staff to the chairside assistant and hygienist to the dentist, everyone at Global Dental Center is skilled and personable. Dr. Roberson’s assistant is also gifted and so fun to be around. My hygienist did a great job with my cleaning. The best part is that they don’t try to push unnecessary services on you, and they have a lot of advanced technology and keep up with best dental practices and techniques. I haven’t been to a dental practice that was this professional in a really long time. They want you to be an active part in caring for your health. I’m so glad someone recommended them to me. It makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience!

    Dr. Dave really takes his time when he’s working on your teeth, twice the amount of time any other Memphis dentist I’ve been to has taken. His staff at Dr. Dave's Dental Care is very profesional, and your comfort is their number one concern. I have never had more than a routine cleaning/examination, but I recommend Dr. Dave and his staff for all your dental needs in Memphis, TN.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

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.
