Trailhead Dental has a direct contract with UnitedHealthcare through Dental Benefit Providers, so when you walk through our door, you're automatically getting the lower negotiated pricing your plan was designed to give you.
- [Sun Life Financial Dentist in Spokane, WA](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/sun-life-dentist-spokane/): Most people don't realize being in-network with their insurance can make a real difference on what they actually pay — and with Sun Life Financial, that difference adds up fast.

- [Lincoln Financial Dentist in Spokane, WA](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/lincoln-financial-dentist-spokane/): Most people don't realize their Lincoln Financial dental benefits reset every year — and unused coverage just disappears. At Trailhead Dental, we think that's worth knowing before your appointment, not after. Dr. Jake Storer and the team here are in-network with Lincoln Financial, which means your plan's contracted rates apply from the moment you walk in.
- [MetLife Dentist in Spokane, WA](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/metlife-dentist-spokane/): Most people don't realize that being in-network with MetLife means your dentist has agreed to set fees — which translates directly to lower out-of-pocket costs for you.

- [GEHA Dentist in Spokane, WA](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/geha-dentist-spokane/): Federal employees and retirees in Spokane often discover that their GEHA dental benefits go further than they expected — especially when they're seeing an in-network provider.

- [Delta Dental Dentist in Spokane, WA](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/delta-dental-dentist-spokane/): Most people don't realize that being in-network with Delta Dental means the fee your dentist can charge is already set — which puts real money back in your pocket before you even sit down in the chair.

I cannot recommend Trailhead enough, the staff was so kind and Dr. Storer was incredibly patient and compassionate with me.

They answered all of my questions and worked as a team to make sure everything was covered. I’m hopeful about my teeth for the first time in a very long time– Mike and Amie W
I was looking to change dentists. I had crown work done at my previous dentist and was being disregarded about my concerns that I was still uncomfortable a year later not even being able to eat on that side. That staff was very helpful and respectful. They took the time and listened to me and found that the crown was too tall and miss aligning my bite. Removed the tall areas and it is 100 percent better. I have found my new dentist. They are also embracing new technology and have lots of new equipment. Will be transitioning my whole family.– Mark V

- [Root Canals](https://www.trailheaddentalwa.com/spokane-wa/root-canals/): What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment involves removing the pulp tissue from inside a tooth. You might be surprised to learn that teeth are actually hollow! The “pulp” refers to the soft tissue—made up of nerves and blood vessels—that fills this inner space.This anatomical design of teeth is what makes toothaches so very painful. The hard structure of a tooth completely surrounds the pulp tissue, leaving no room for the pulp to increase in size. Soft tissue in other areas of the body can simply swell outward when inflamed or infected. When something causes infection or inflammation of the pulp, the pulp can only build in pressure within that hard chamber. This leads to sharp, shooting, or throbbing pains that are severe in intensity.What Does a Root Canal Treatment Do?
Root canal treatment relieves toothaches by removing inflamed or infected nerves and blood vessels from inside the affected tooth. The procedure also cleans the inner chamber to prevent future infections. Once the soft tissue is removed and the area is thoroughly cleaned, the dentist fills the space with a biocompatible material, sealing the tooth to protect it from further bacterial contamination.Many people refer to “root canal treatment” simply as a “root canal.” The name comes from the anatomy of the tooth—the hollow space inside each root is called a root canal. Since some teeth have multiple roots, a root canal treatment may involve cleaning and sealing up to four individual canals.What Does the Root Canal Treatment Process Involve?
Root canal treatment includes a few steps that make it different from other dental procedures. While we use the same local anesthetic to keep you comfortable and pain-free, what sets a root canal apart are the following key steps:Rubber Dam Isolation
To maintain a sterile environment, your dentist will isolate the tooth with a rubber dam. This barrier keeps saliva and bacteria away from the treatment area, while also preventing dental materials and instruments from entering the rest of your mouth.X-Ray Evaluation
Throughout the root canal procedure, your dentist will take periodic x-rays to monitor progress, assess the shape and length of the canals, and ensure the filling material is placed correctly.During the treatment itself, you may feel some light pressure or pushing. The dentist uses tiny files to clean the inside of the tooth, and you may notice a sensation similar to filing a fingernail. You should not feel any pain during the procedure.What Should I Expect After a Root Canal Treatment?
In many cases, your dentist will complete the root canal by placing a temporary filling over the sealed canal. In other situations, a permanent filling may be placed right away, followed by preparation for a crown. Since a root canal removes the tooth’s internal fluid supply, the tooth can become brittle and more prone to cracking. That’s why a crown is typically recommended after root canal treatment—to provide full coverage and protect the tooth from future damage.It’s normal to feel some tenderness or discomfort at the treatment site right after a root canal. If there’s an infection around the tooth, your dentist may prescribe oral antibiotics. Following all post-operative care instructions and taking any prescribed medications as directed is essential for proper healing and the best outcome.Use It or Lose It Use your Dental Insurance benefits before they expire !

Many individuals aren't aware they grind their teeth, only realizing it when a dentist identifies the issue or when they wake up with jaw pain or tightness. The causes of nighttime grinding can vary and are sometimes difficult to identify, but stress and anxiety are common factors. Generally, higher stress levels increase the chances of grinding teeth during sleep.Other potential causes of teeth grinding include: Misalignment between the upper and lower teeth Sleep disorders, like sleep apnea Unhealthy habits, such as drinking alcohol, smoking, and using drugs
Signs That You May Be Grinding or Clenching Your Teeth at Night Include: Grinding noises during sleep (often noticed by a partner or family member) Occasional discomfort in your teeth or jaw Frequent headaches Chips, cracks, or wear on teeth, fillings, or crowns Excessive wear on your teeth Increased tooth sensitivity
