Question: Are Dental X-rays safe?

Answer: Exposure to all sources of radiation, including the sun, minerals in the soil, appliances in your home, and dental X-rays, can damage the body’s tissues and cells. Fortunately, the dose of radiation you are exposed to during the taking of dental X-rays is extremely small.
