Dental xray done twice in one day in a child. is that ok?

Yes: Dental radiation exposure is negligible. There is an easy to understand comparison table on my website at: www.Drplitt.Com/dental-x-ray-safety/ i hope that helps!

Yes: Dental xrays have very low radiation.

It is OK: Radiation from dental x-rays is minimal... Even more minimal are the newer digital x-rays. Digital x-rays are up to 90% less radiation exposure than traditional x-rays. Ask your dentist if the type he is using are digital. They are immediate, not the old fashioned little individual ones.

If digital yes!!: Two digital dental radiographs of child's teeth on the same day is absolutely safe. The radiation level is so low that it us almost negligible. I am amazed that parents have little or no concerns if a child's broken arm is x-rayed multiple times, exposing the him/her to possibly a thousand times more radiation, but they are very concerned when their kids get a couple if dental x-rays!

Dental x-rays: If it were my child, i would have 0% concern. With proper precautions such as lead shield, modern digital equipment, etc. Risks are minimal. We are exposed to radiation on a daily basis and some exposure such as flying in an airplane. One always has to weigh risks vs diagnostic necessity and benefits.
