Toothaches Need Attention
One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the College, AK area who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dental professional examines your teeth, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.
