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.

Doctors Network

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%.

    Who is Dr. Charles Crowl DDS, FADIA?
    view full bio

    Dr. Charles Crowl's journey into dentistry was influenced by his own experiences as a child requiring extensive dental work, which initially made him apprehensive about dental visits. Everything changed when, at the age of 13, he was referred by his orthodontist to a dentist for the removal of two teeth. This dentist’s gentle approach and clear communication transformed Dr. Crowl’s perception of dental care, showing him that it didn’t have to be painful. This pivotal moment inspired him to become the kind of dentist who could change patients’ attitudes toward their own dental experiences.

    To achieve this, Dr. Crowl fosters a warm and inviting environment in his practice, encouraging patients to feel empowered and confident about their smiles. He treats each individual with care and attention, ensuring they are recognized as more than just a number. His focus is on helping people regain their confidence through the latest advancements in dental technology.

    Dr. Crowl attended Michigan State University before entering an early enrollment program at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Dentistry. After practicing in the Chicago area for 30 years, he relocated to Louisville in 2017 to be closer to family. Since earning his degree, he has pursued further education in cosmetic dentistry, dental implant surgery, and orthodontics.

    Volunteering and travel are also significant passions for Dr. Crowl. He enjoys exploring both locally and internationally, often seeking opportunities to combine his love for travel with dentistry through dental mission trips. He is dedicated to demonstrating to patients, near and far, that dentistry can be a compassionate and caring experience. Dr. Crowl is committed to always prioritizing the best interests of his patients.

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.
