A member asked:

Im an or nurse. i forgot to put lead on and was in a room for two days with dental x-ray and no lead. im 7 weeks pregnant. did i harm my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Dental x-rays are extremely low in today's digital age, not much different than background radiation. Report your scenario to your OBGyn. And "I forgot" is not an excuse. As radiation is cumulative it is always necessary to follow all of the standard procedures that you were taught.
