6wks 5 days pregnant. looking thru old files, some old dental films (grayish black) fell out. i touched them to put them up. washed hands soon after. are these toxic to touch or harmful for my unborn baby?

No toxicity: You and your baby will be fine. Not much that can be absorbed through your skin that will be toxic to you or your child.

Not at all: Dental film x-rays do NOT give off radiation. And besides, dental x-ray exposures are exceptionally low. There is absolutely no risk to either your child or you. And by the way, make sure you have regular dental care to avoid problems during your pregnancy. And congratulations.
