Depends: The long term effcts of radiating can vary depending on exactly where the radiation was and how much your doctor was able to pinpoint the target. The higher the dosage, the more side effects you will have. These can be long lasting. Work with your dentist and radiologist to minimize the effects and protect you teeth.
