Many people hear “radiation” and instantly feel uneasy, but dental X-rays are actually among the safest medical imaging procedures available today. The amount of radiation is tiny — comparable to natural sources we encounter every day without realizing it.

Eating a banana exposes you to natural background radiation from potassium. A single dental X-ray gives about the same dose as eating a few bananas.

Spending a few minutes outdoors in sunlight gives you more natural radiation exposure than a dental X-ray.

A short airplane flight exposes your body to several times more radiation than a full-mouth series of dental X-rays.

Thanks to modern digital sensors, today’s X-rays require up to 90% less radiation than old film systems, yet they produce sharper, clearer, and more diagnostic images.

Dentists also take strict safety measures — lead aprons, thyroid collars, and careful adherence to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Every X-ray is taken only when it has a clear clinical benefit.

In short, the radiation from dental X-rays is minimal, carefully regulated, and far outweighed by their diagnostic value. They help protect your oral and overall health — not put it at risk.
