Annual dental exam: Do you have your teeth cleaned during your dental exam and X-rays? Sometimes the X-ray sensors or film can be irritating to the tissues. Talk to your dentist about this. Since they know you and your mouth they can give you a more specific answer.

Very common: Some dental digital x-rays sensors are thicker and bulkier than dental films, causing patient discomfort, especially for those with small mouth opening.
