General Membership Meeting: Toothache of Non-Dental Origins

Non-odontogenic tooth pain refers to dental pain that originates from sources other than teeth, without having any clinically identifiable pulpal or periodontal pathology. Accurate diagnosis is essential to identify underlying causes and facilitate appropriate treatment. Early recognition and appropriate management can help improve patient outcomes, reduce unnecessary dental interventions, and prevent chronic pain conditions. This lecture will provide a concise overview of the causes, diagnostic considerations, and treatment approaches for non-odontogenic tooth pain.
