Diagnosing tooth-related pain can often be challenging as teeth lack certain nerve receptors that allow our brain to precisely locate the source of pain.
Referred pain may also occur, which involves pain being perceived at a site that is away from the true pain source. Endodontists are specialists of the pulp/nerve of teeth and are trained to identify the offending tooth.
More importantly, Endodontists are also trained to recognise when pain is not tooth-related, potentially saving you from unnecessary treatment, and can point you in the right direction for further treatment.
