Toothaches Need Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Skwentna, AK area who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dentist examines you, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to treat major cavities. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.
