Here’s an amazing Anchorage statistic: the city’s metro area population of about 400,000 residents represents more than half of Alaska’s total population. The city location was chosen almost by accident: it was neither a fishing or mining center, but happened to be suitable for rail and harbor development. And the rest, as they say, is history. Today, it’s no accident that Doctors Network is preferred by locals who are looking for a dentist. Doctors Network lets you find and compare dentists in Anchorage, so you can make the best choice about who to trust for your dental care. It’s a solution that is leading to better smiles and happier people.

One thing that visitors to Anchorage aren’t prepared for is the abundance of large wildlife in the city. Black bears, grizzly bears, and moose are all common sights within the urban limits and can be a hazard to drivers and pedestrians. Dall sheep, timber wolves, beavers, and foxes are also present but less commonly seen. This means there’s an extra level of care needed for trail walks and hikes in Anchorage.You need to take care of your smile and your dental health in the same way: be aware and take appropriate action. Doctors Network can help. Our platform is a tool to connect you with the best dentists in Anchorage, or anywhere in the United States.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

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.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
