Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if the sensitive area of the palate causes pain on pressing it and it leads to pain on a particular tooth the most probable chances are that there is infection in tooth that has extended to the area below the root tips of the tooth leading to pain and discomfort..
It might be missed in the x ray so a repetition of the x ray with changing the angulation of the x ray has to be done for ruling out the cause..
Other causes like traumatic injury caused by any hard food, gum infection or inflamed salivary gland has to be looked for if it is not due to infected tooth..
As of now if there is pain you can take Tylenol or Aleve, apply numbing gel over the sore spot and do warm saline gargles..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
