A Toothache Needs Attention
One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, 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 the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have a toothache that lingers, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Avon, AL area who takes walk-ins!
When the dentist examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin 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.
