A Toothache Needs a Restoration
A common reason to seek dental care is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Koyuk, AK area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!
When the dentist examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the severity 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 crown could also be used to address major cavities. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
