Tooth Pain - What's Causing It?

If you have tooth pain, you can use the chart below to give you some idea as to what the source of the pain might be. Bear in mind, though, that the intention of this chart is not to diagnose your pain; only your dentist can do that.

When you contact your dentist regarding your tooth pain, it's important that you be as thorough as you can in your explanation of the pain; i.e., how severe it is, when you feel it, where it's located, and whether any conditions make it better or worse. That way, your dentist will have a sense as to the urgency of your problem.
