Most toothaches don't always point to the real problem.
Your brain can misinterpret pain because multiple teeth share the same nerve pathways. The tooth that hurts may be completely healthy, while the actual infection is hiding somewhere else.
That is why dentists rely on a thorough examination and X rays instead of treating the tooth you point to.
Treat the source, not just the symptom. Early diagnosis can save your tooth and relieve the pain faster.
