Toothaches Need Attention
A common reason to search for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a lingering toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Eagle Village, AK area near you who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dentist examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental cap or 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.
