Dental x-rays produce a low level of radiation and are  safe.  We take necessary precautions to limit the exposure to radiation when taking dental x-rays, including using modern, fast film that cuts down the exposure time of each x-ray. Most of our x-rays are taken digitally, which further decreases the exposure to radiation.

We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment.  The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of x-rays is equal to the amount a person receives in a single day from natural sources.
