I was diagnosed with a menigioma two years ago no growth 7 mm i just had my teeth x-rayed and will now have to have another x-ray due to needing a root canal scared this will cause the meningioma to grow

The radiation exposure from these procedures will not affect the meningioma. Wish you good health.

A single DENTAL x-ray is minimal exposure. You get more radiation from the environment. Make sure an apron is placed on your lap and neck before x-ray is taken to minimize exposure.

Digital films require only an infinitesimally small amount of radiation. A full 14-18 film series requires less radiation than you would be exposed to spending a day in the mountains. Your Dentist cannot provide safe healthful care if forced to work blind. No, dental x-rays will not cause your meningioma to grow. Also know that your Dentist's columnated beam will probably not allow direct exposure

There is NO relationship between clinical radiological studies and growth of meningomas
