Dental X-ray has less Radiation than the radiation you get out door from sun rays ..Also it is good to know that many Dental offices have digital X-ray which has more reduced time and amount of radiation emitting for your safety .You also must be covered by led apron to protect your vital organ .You are safe and can not get Cancer from Dental office .
