  - TRANSCRIPT OF QUESTION AND ANSWER
    - I’m 25 and can never remember going to the dentist; ever. People tell me all the time that I have a great smile. But over the last four weeks, I’ve had a nonstop pain in my tooth. I don’t have dental insurance and it’s hard to find a dentist where I am. Can my primary care provider help?Cristy: This is also a big question of access to dental care and trying to figure out insurance coverage and cost as a piece of this. The best person to see when you have pain, especially with something that’s been going on that long is a dentist. But if you have a primary care provider and that person is easier to get into then I think it’s very appropriate for you to go there. The primary doctor might be able to help you, look to see if there’s an abscess, infection or something that’s visible, maybe help you with pain medicine or antibiotics as you’re getting in to see the dentist.
      Adam: Cristy, I think you said it exactly correct. I think dental abscesses need treatment they need to see a dentist but your doctor has a role to play. It’s a team.
      Cristy: It is a team. But really working to get in with a dentist is the right thing to do and you can ask about cost and insurance, but if you have a big infection down there, it needs to be treated.
