Radiation From X Rays
Question: I just got a panoramic x-ray where they take an x-Ray of your whole head with radiation. The lady did not put the lead vest on me. What will happen now? Should I be worry about this?
Answer: The office should have put the apron on you when taking an X-ray, You should point that out to them and let the dentist know this was not done. However there is no need for you to worry about it, the radiation you received from the panoramic x-ray is about the same amount you would get from two days out in the normal sun.
