Are Dental X-Rays safe during Pregnancy?

Do you ever wonder if x-rays taken during pregnancy are safe?


If you are pregnant, then you should definitely ask your dentist if x-rays are safe during pregnancy.

X-rays are used to detect dental problems such as cavities, fractures, cysts, tumors, and other abnormalities. However, there is no evidence that x-rays pose any risk to the fetus. In fact, x-rays are considered safe during pregnancy.

Yes, dental x-rays are safe for both mother and baby. However, you should be aware that they may expose you to radiation. It is best to avoid them if possible. If you need an x-ray, talk with your dentist about how much radiation exposure you will receive.
