A Toothache Needs a Restoration
One of the most common reasons to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches could occur for many different reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a dentist. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Healy, AK community who takes private patients!
When the dentist examines your teeth, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For children and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile.
