Adults are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Adolescents need regular dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dental professional in Tanacross, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Tanacross pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, 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 caries. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for dentists in Tanacross 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 healthy smiles, but they also learn the importance of caring for their smiles. Checkups and cleanings 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 best practice for you and your children!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the issue 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 an online appointment with a private dentist in Tanacross, AK who can provide a safe tooth removal 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 periodontitis. Taking out a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. 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 a full prosthetic. Your Tanacross dentist could use this to improve the function and health of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Tanacross, AK area. But if you don’t have coverage, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a 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 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth pulled and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a dental professional. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is best 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 oral surgeon near you in Tanacross, AK that accepts self-pay patients.


Wisdom teeth are in the back of the mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They most commonly appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual angles, only partially come in, 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 uncomfortable and can harm your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Tanacross oral surgeon quickly.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the extraction to make certain everything goes according to the plan. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain this information, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation, so you will not feel 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 receive information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Tanacross dentists that accept self-pay patients and can skillfully remove your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for kids to visit a pediatric dentist on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Tanacross who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 protective layer between their back teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your children’s teeth. 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 fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Tanacross.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased 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 Tanacross, AK that works with patients with no dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Tanacross dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even 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 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 whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule a consultation online with a Tanacross dentist that accepts patients with no dental insurance, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been a long time since you last visited a dentist, you should schedule a checkup soon. When you go in for consistent dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you are looking for a dentist in Tanacross, AK that accepts patients who are uninsured we can help you find a great match.

Once your cleaning is over, your Tanacross dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential problems. Should they notice something awry, they will explain your treatment options. The Tanacross practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental complications.

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.
