A Toothache Needs Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to search for a dentist is 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 instance, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel 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 Central, AK area who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dental professional examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the right treatment 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 address advanced decay. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.
