As kids, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a new in-network dentist in Waldo, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Waldo‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is chipped, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a great dentist in Waldo, AL who can provide a safe tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Removing a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for dentures. Your Waldo dentist could use this to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find your dentist in the Waldo, AL area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a low monthly cost. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to describe their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a dental professional. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Waldo, AL that accepts new patients.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their arrival can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are probably going to be affected by bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Waldo dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom teeth extraction, your dentist will determine how they will go about the procedure to make sure everything goes without complications. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also assess the appropriate type of anesthesia and the state of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Waldo dentists that accept new patients and can effectively pull your wisdom teeth.

It is crucial for kids to visit a dental professional on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Waldo 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 children with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Waldo.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Waldo, AL that accepts patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Waldo dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Waldo dentist that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find a fantastic one.

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.
