Toothache (pulpitis)
Disease Information
Tests
A toothache is usually diagnosed based on a complete history and physical examination of your child and your child's mouth. Your child's physician will probably refer your child to a dentist for complete evaluation and treatment.
At the dentist, x-rays (a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film) of the teeth may be taken to help in the diagnosis and treatment of the problem.
