A Toothache Shouldn’t Be Ignored
One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for many different reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a persistent toothache 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 and clenching. When you have a toothache that lingers, you probably need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Hope, AK community who takes Aetna!
