What dental tests will determine the cause of a toothache?
The definitive test to find out what causes your toothache is a dental X-ray. It may be necessary to take more than one X-ray to find the angulation that will show us exactly where the tooth pain is coming from. And many times, even though you’re feeling the tooth pain in one area, the problem can be in another area. So sometimes more than just two X-rays are necessary to discern, or find out, exactly where the tooth pain is coming from.
