A member asked:
Had dental visit today and hygenist did fmx,& had to retake an xray 3 times to get a good one. they were digital, but was this too much radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiation: You would need to have scores of dental-xrays taken to equal one day's background radiation. That said, the diagnostic information obtained far outweighs the radiation risk.
