Dental pain can be caused by tumour inflation, infection, or trauma. Periodontal disease; which can be identified by a particular bad breath smell, is a leading cause in dental pain. The bacteria; P gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans, are the leading causes of gum disease and have become resistant to many of the standard treatment tests.
Proper dental knowledge is critical in order to identify and treat facial pain causes. There are several tests that can be used in order to properly diagnose dental pain. They include the pulp sensitivity test, percussion test, probing, mobility test, palpation, sinus formation, and radiographic examination. By properly diagnosing the dental pain issue, specific treatment can be assessed in order to resolve the issue.
