Toothaches Need Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering 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 a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Big Delta, AK community who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dentist examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a dental filling made from a composite resin 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 ensure an attractive smile.
