A Toothache Needs Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for many different reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Chickaloon, AK area near you who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dental professional examines your smile, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For children and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address major cavities. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.
