A Toothache Needs Attention
One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches 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 the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding while asleep. 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 Ouzinkie, AK area near you who takes Aetna!
