Toothaches Need Attention
A common reason to look for a dentist is to address a toothache. 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 lasting tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Skwentna, AK area who takes Aetna!
When the dentist examines you, digital x-rays are used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to address advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
