Toothaches Need Attention
A common reason to search for a dentist is to address a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for many different reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a persistent 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 and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Aleknagik, AK community who takes private patients!
When the dental professional examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For children and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to treat advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.
