A member asked:
Please tell me can dental x rays be undertaken in patient who had radiotherapy 1 year back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dental X rays produce minimal radiation effect. The question is whether the previous radiation was for a non head and neck problem where most areas are then shielded such as when receiving abdominal or breast radiation.
