Are dental x-rays harmful? Do they contain radiation?

Question

Accepted Answer

Dental X-rays are an imaging method that involves radiation. However, the amount of radiation used is very low and is considered safe according to international health standards.

Special Circumstances:
 • Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, shooting may be carried out with safety precautions such as a lead apron.
 • Children: This procedure should be performed only when necessary and with caution. Due to the delicate nature of children, unnecessary x-rays should be avoided.
