Doctors Network

Of the 45 presidents who have served the United States, seven were born in Ohio, as was the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong. Today, over 50% of the entire United States population lives within 500 miles of its capital city, Columbus. As the first state to electrically light an entire city and the first to establish an official ambulance service, the Buckeye State has always been slightly ahead of its time. This tradition holds true today as many dentists across the state join with Doctors Network to provide highly affordable, hassle-free dental health care plans directly to their patients. Families all over Ohio can now benefit from the high-quality dental treatment that they deserve while keeping the costs of their care lower than ever before.

Doctors Network

Everyone’s dental health needs are unique, and those needs continuously evolve as time goes by. While regular checkups and cleanings are not usually very expensive, especially with insurance, the overall costs of dental care can skyrocket when more extensive cosmetic or restorative treatment is necessary. With the help of Doctors Network, Ohio’s 11.6 million residents can make keeping up with their dental health significantly more affordable, regardless of their unique dental needs. As part of the network, dentists across the state can offer their patients direct dental plans that give them access to substantial discounts on all dental treatments. Checkups and cleanings, for instance, are only $25 per visit and can be scheduled as often necessary without a change in price. Personalized treatments, including tooth fillings, dental crowns, veneers, Invisalign®, dentures, dental implants, and more, are discounted by up to 90%.

Doctors Network

The best thing about direct dental plans is that they work with or without insurance; if you have an existing plan, then joining Doctors Network will not interfere with it. If you’re among the 7.6% of patients in Ohio who do not have dental insurance, then the plan can offer a much more affordable alternative to paying for your family’s dental health care. To learn more, speak with your dentist about the benefits of a direct dental plan during your next appointment. You can also visit the Doctors Network website at www.doctorsnetwork.com and choose an Ohio-based dentist who is already in the network.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b

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.
