Toothaches Need a Restoration
One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for multiple 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 lingering toothache could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel 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 Happy Valley, AK community who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dental professional examines you, 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 tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
