Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children require regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a family dentist in Nectar, AL with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Nectar pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for dentists in Nectar who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also understand the importance of regular care. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you!

If 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 tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a skilled dentist in Nectar, AL who can offer a effective tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, cavities 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 improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and overall esthetics. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Nectar dentist could use the extraction to improve the function and health of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find your dentist in the Nectar, AL area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could discount care by up to 90 percent!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom tooth removed and are eager to tell their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dental professional. If you need these teeth extracted, it is best to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Nectar, AL that accepts patients without dental insurance.


The third molars are in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last teeth to erupt, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this happens, they are probably going to be affected by harmful bacteria. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Nectar dentist as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom teeth extraction, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. They will decide how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also decide the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain this information, 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 monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will get post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Nectar dentists that accept patients without dental insurance and can skillfully remove your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for children to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Nectar who accepts private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Nectar.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Nectar, AL that takes parivate patients, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Nectar dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. 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 an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to book an appointment online with a Nectar dentist that accepts parivate patients, we can help you find a great 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.

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.
