I'm not a dentist, but I'm a patient (frequent) and I had an x-ray
today mid-root canal and my head hurts tonight.

I think the pain is more likely caused by residual inflammation, even
after the root canal.

Stress of visiting the dentist and "unusual" proceedure?

Perhaps you are right... I've never had a root canal. My root canal is
not finished either. I have a temporary filling and one freaky
half-tooth. Really, I am embarassed. I will never take advantage of my
teeth again.

Some patients claim the headache develops when they get the bill.

Or for being propped open for so long during RCT.
