Toothaches Need Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for a number of 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 and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Allgood, AL area near you who takes Aetna!
When the dentist examines your smile, digital x-rays are 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 biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.
