My insurance allows me to see any dentist.

I can pick a dentist on or off my list, and I'm willing to pay a higher co-pay to visit a qualified 1-800-DENTIST member.

I have a list and I am not willing to go to a dentist not on my list.

A rotten situation

Also known as dental caries, a cavity is an infection of the tooth caused by plaque. When carbohydrates from sugary foods combine with plaque bacteria, an acid is formed that attacks the enamel, causing tooth decay!

No pain, all gain

Treatment for cavities includes removing the cavity with a drill and restoring it with a filling. But there’s no need to fear the drill – advancements in dental cavity treatments have made filling cavities virtually pain-free.

Look ma, no cavities!

Cavity prevention starts with proper dental care. But no matter how well you take care of your teeth, it’s important to visit the dentist for cavity detection. Untreated cavities can infect the tooth’s pulp, causing cavity pain and leading to a root canal or tooth loss.
