Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Children require routine checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Cordova, AL with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Cordova pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Cordova who can provide children’s dentistry, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of caring for their smiles. 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 practice for you!

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a great dentist or oral surgeon in Cordova, AL who can offer a safe tooth extraction 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 gum disease. Removing a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. 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 a full prosthetic. Your Cordova dentist could use the procedure to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


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

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to tell their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is important to have lots 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 Cordova, AL that accepts patients without dental insurance.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last adult teeth, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are probably going to be affected by abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Cordova oral surgery specialist as soon as possible.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the extraction to make certain everything goes smoothly. 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 sedation and the state of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these facts, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction 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 pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Cordova dentists that accept patients without dental insurance and can effectively remove your wisdom teeth.

It is crucial for kids to visit a dental professional twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Cordova who takes patients with no dental coverge, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with 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 molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists 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 little one’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Cordova.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Cordova, AL that works with patients with no dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Cordova dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home 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 choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe whitening solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Cordova dentist that takes patients with no dental insurance, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
