tooth pain after a year from rads

But why do you feel it just has to be the radiation? Not saying that it isn't related, but I wouldn't necessarily feel that it is definitely related.
But, either way it isn't really important on the how. More than likely it's not going to get better on it's own. Something is going on, more than likely a cavity or some type of infection.
If it is infected, that's where the important after effect of the radiation comes into play. If left untreated and it is infected, due to possible loss of blood flow (especially if it's a lower tooth), it could lead to bone infection. That could be potentially really bad for you.
I'd have it checked out if for no other reason than what I have mentioned.
Best,

Must agree with John, go and see a dentist if possible don’t let your teeth get infected or something.
