Visitor asks:
Hello.
Today I was at the dentist and at the end he took a local X-ray of a tooth (my dentist also has a digital device like the one shown above). I would like to know: if I happened to be pregnant (I do not know whether I am — and if I am, it would be about 2 weeks), could there be any consequences for the fetus or any fetal abnormalities? (The dentist did cover me with protection.)
Thank you very much for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Considering the type of X-ray unit (a digital unit has ten times lower exposure than a conventional X-ray unit) and the protection you had, there is no danger whatsoever of fetal damage.
Have a nice day!
