Toothaches Need Attention
One of the most common reasons to seek dental care is discomfort caused by cavities. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lasting toothache 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 and clenching. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Rampart, AK area near you who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dental professional examines your teeth, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a dental filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.
