Toothaches Shouldn’t Be Ignored
A common reason to seek dental care is discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, 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 and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Bear Creek, AK area near you who takes Aetna!
