Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to book an appointment with a family dentist in Shaktoolik, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Shaktoolik pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Shaktoolik who can offer care for kids, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also learn the value of caring for their smiles. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your family!

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need dental care. 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 cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a knowledgeable dentist or oral surgeon in Shaktoolik, AK who can offer a safe tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Taking out a tooth could improve bite 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 appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Shaktoolik general dentist could use the procedure to improve the function and health of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find your dentist in the Shaktoolik, AK 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 low monthly cost. For some, this could discount care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know a lot of people 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 oral surgeon. If you need these teeth extracted, it is important 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 expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Shaktoolik, AK that accepts patients without dental insurance.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their presence can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your dentition. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Shaktoolik oral surgeon quickly.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth removal, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the procedure to make sure everything goes smoothly. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also assess the appropriate type of sedation and the condition of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain this information, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia 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 ok. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will be provided with post-operative instructions. Fortunately, there are many Shaktoolik dentists that accept patients without dental insurance and can adeptly remove your wisdom teeth.

It is essential for children to visit a dental professional on a biannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Shaktoolik who takes uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify 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 damage. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Shaktoolik.

Many folks would prefer 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 used any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shaktoolik, AK that takes patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shaktoolik dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of 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 up with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Shaktoolik dentist that takes patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find the best ones.

This helps prevent decay from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures in the future.

Once your cleaning is done, your Shaktoolik dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options.

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.
