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.

Dr Seibert and 2 doctors agreed
