dental patient refuses x-rays
A full mouth series (18 dental x-rays) exposes you to LESS radiation than an airplane flight from LA to NYC, living in a brick building, walking outside, or just eating food. In fact, a SINGLE tooth x-ray (1 image) is exactly double the radiation that you get from eating a banana. Yep. It’s that low!

NOTE: As of Feb 1, 2024 — the American Dental Association no longer recommends the use of lead aprons when conducting dental x-rays. However always check YOUR state’s dental laws regarding this updated guideline. Some states may still require the use of the lead apron.
