Diagnosis of Tooth Pain
Diagnosis of tooth pain refers to the process of identifying the cause of tooth pain by evaluating the patient’s symptoms, conducting a thorough oral examination, and taking diagnostic imaging studies. The goal of the diagnosis is to determine the underlying cause of the pain so that an appropriate treatment plan can be developed to alleviate the pain.

Diagnosis of Tooth Pain
Patient History
The dentist will take a detailed medical and dental history, including information about the duration, intensity, and location of the pain, as well as any associated symptoms.
Oral Examination
The dentist will perform a thorough examination of the mouth, including the teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw. They will look for any visible signs of decay, infection, or injury, as well as signs of inflammation or swelling.
Sensitivity Tests
The dentist may perform sensitivity tests to determine the specific tooth or teeth that are causing the pain. This may include cold, heat, or pressure tests.
Wearing elastics
The orthodontist may also ask the patient to wear elastics (small rubber bands) to help move your teeth into the desired position.
Pulp Vitality Tests
The dentist may also perform pulp vitality tests, which involve applying a small electric current to the tooth to assess the health of the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth).
Diagnosis
Once all the information is gathered, the dentist will use all the information to make a diagnosis and provide a treatment plan to alleviate the pain.
It’s worth noting that tooth pain can have multiple causes, such as tooth decay, tooth abscess, gum disease, bruxism, tooth injury, or tooth sensitivity. Therefore, a proper and thorough diagnosis is crucial to provide the appropriate treatment.
