Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Kids require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dental professional in Cañon City, CO with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Cañon City pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, sealants can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Cañon City who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care children not only enjoy healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of regular care. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a great dentist in Cañon City, CO who can provide a gentle tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Taking out a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for dentures. Your Cañon City dentist could use the extraction to improve the function and health 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 connect you with a dentist in the Cañon City, CO area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a direct payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth extracted and are eager to tell their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Cañon City, CO that accepts self-pay patients.


The third molars are located in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth, their arrival can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can affect your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Cañon City oral surgery specialist quickly.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the extraction to ensure everything goes without complications. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also determine the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not experience pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will get post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Cañon City dentists that accept self-pay patients and can skillfully remove your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for your little ones to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Cañon City who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their back teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Cañon City.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Cañon City, CO that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Cañon City dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit online with a Cañon City dentist that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been a long time since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule a consultation as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly visits, your dentist can closely examine your teeth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Cañon City, CO that accepts private patients we can help you find a great match.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar and plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your teeth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is done, your Cañon City dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential problems. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options. The Cañon City dental office we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation with a dentist that takes private patients, we can help you find a great one.

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.
