Toothaches Need Attention
One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, 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 and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Grant, AL area near you who takes Delta Dental!
When the dentist examines your smile, imaging technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.
