A member asked:
I have ultra sensitive nervous system with cfs, migraines and sometimes panic attacks. should i be concerned about the radiation from dental x rays?

No, you should not: Dental radiographs are taken with a very low diagnostic dose. Lead shields are also used to protect the rest of your midsection and neck from scatter. The benefits of a healthy mouth far, far outweigh the infinitesimally small risks. All the best...

Reassurance: These days X rays including Dental X rays have lower radiation due to advances in digital technology. I would talk to your dentist for more relevant answers. Feel Good!

No need to worry.: The amount of radiation in a dental xray is very small, you should not be worried.

Definitely no: When all standard safety precautions are taken, dental X-rays are very safe with minimal radiation and maximum resolution. Today's X-ray equipment is able to eliminate unnecessary radiation. Dental x-rays are necessary for a proper diagnosis prior and during the dental treatment.
