Visitor asks:
Hello,
10 days after my last menstrual period I had a panoramic dental X-ray. It was taken with a digital device, but they did not provide any protective shielding.
Today I found out that I became pregnant in the same cycle in which the X-ray was taken.
I would like to know whether there is any danger to the fetus.
Thank you very much for your answer!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Exposure with this type of imaging is negligible because it is up to 10 times lower than with conventional imaging, and the location of exposure is far away from the problematic area. You can be reassured.
Have a nice day!
