Are X-rays safe?

The Singapore Dental Health Foundation states that X-rays are useful diagnostic tools for detecting cavities in
teeth, and checking for bone and gum disorders. Dental X-rays solely need a low level of radiation exposure.
To protect the patient, lead apron is used.

For pregnant women X-rays are solely taken when needed for treatment.
*Note that use of lead apron and will offer protection against radiation exposure. X-rays can still be taken for breastfeeding mothers and women trying to get pregnant.

Note: If an X-ray examination is not done, there is the real risk that some conditions will not be discovered which can put your health at risk. A healthy body is reflected in a healthy mouth. Early detection of any abnormality in the oral cavity may save lives. Every tooth and its surrounding gums are checked and its condition recorded for future reference.
