A Toothache Needs Attention
A common reason to look for a dentist is a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Point Lay, AK community who takes Aetna!
When the dentist examines your teeth, imaging technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For children and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
