What procedures are required to diagnose the problem?

In addition to performing an objective examination, the dentist will also perform a subjective examination. During the objective examination, the doctor will be using percussion, physical examination, thermal sensitivity, electronically controlled pulp testing, and radiological imaging to help diagnose the issue and determine its extent. When germs infect the muscle tissue of a tooth, a dental abscess can form a pus-filled collection. When a tooth is damaged or decayed, bacteria can enter the tooth and cause infections.
