Has anyone ever experienced extreme tooth sensitivity after having a full set of x-rays done?

Question

I know it sounds insane and I can't find anything on the internet, but ever since I had a full set of x-rays done on Saturday, my teeth are very sensitive. I can't think of anything else I might have done that may ahve caused it.

Answer 1

Never. I have had a whole variety of them ranging from bite to panoramic. They were from a succession of dentists. I never had tooth sensitivity as a result. The amount of radiation is less than you would get from cosmic rays while flying cross country on a commercial airliner. Have you ever heard anyone say that there teeth had sensitivity increases from flying from coast to coast?

Answer 2

I've never heard of that, however maybe the sensitivity is a result of any dental treatment you had. Did the dentist treat you recently or on the same day of the xrays? Sometimes mouth cleaning (scaling and polishing), whitening your teeth, and even filling cavities can cause sensitivity...
