what are the symptoms of radiation.?

Question

does it cause tooth chiping

Answer 1

Are you thinking from a dental x-ray?

Answer 2

No. Can you give more detail, radiation can be pretty broad. If your asking if someone who had radiation for cancer can have dental issues the answer is a definite yes, if their mandible (jaw) or parotid (saliva) glands where in the radiation field. It can cause you to be more likely to get cavities and to not heal well after dental work. I guess in theory it could cause a cavity which would make for a weak tooth which then could chip easier so perhaps the answer could be yes, but I've never seen that happen. I can try to help more if you give me more details of what the situation is.

Answer 3

Radiation Sickness: Symptoms & Signs

* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Skin burns (redness, blistering)
* Weakness, fatigue, exhaustion, fainting
* Dehydration
* Inflammation of exposed areas (redness, tenderness, swelling, bleeding)

* Ulceration of the esophagus, stomach or intestines
* Vomiting blood
* Bloody stool
* Bleeding from the nose, mouth, gums, and rectum
* Bruising

Your doctor will advise you how best to treat these symptoms. He may prescribe medications to help reduce nausea, vomiting, and pain. He may prescribe blood transfusions for anemia or antibiotics to prevent or fight infections.

Note: Any chance you're using dental tools/accessories to clean or otherwise care for you teeth, which could be damaging them?

Any chance you have decay inside the teeth that you don't know about?

Any chance you teeth are weak because of some deficiency in your diet over a long period of time (even if it was in the past)?

Any chance you're using some super-strong, abrasive, cleaner or some whitening chemical that could weaken them?

Just some ideas...
