A Toothache Needs Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of 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 instance, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Kiana, AK area who takes 1199!
When the dental professional examines your teeth, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address advanced decay. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
