Will getting dental x-rays affect my pregnancy?

No: As long as you take the proper precautions (lead shield and cervical collar) your baby will not be exposed to any radiation.

No: Dental x-rays are mostly harmless. You might want to avoid them during pregnancy. But if there is a good reason for needing some you should not be concerned.
