Toothaches Need a Restoration
A common reason to seek dental care is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus congestion, 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 tooth decay, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a dentist.
