A Toothache Needs Attention
Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is to address pain in one or more teeth. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Skagway, AK community who takes Aetna!
When the dentist examines you, digital x-rays are used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.
