Patients present with a large variety of different pain patterns. Some types of pain will be quite excruciating and intolerable whereas other types of pain will be low grade, annoying but quite tolerable. It is only by carefully going through the complete history with the patient and using the appropriate test or tests that one can accurately diagnose the pain and positively treat the offending tooth.
