Why You Need X Rays #shorts #patienteducation #dentist #xrays #oralhealth

Led aprons used to be worn during dental X-rays to protect people from radiation.

Today, dental X-ray machines are much safer and use much less radiation. The amount of radiation from a dental X-ray is now so low that it is considered safe for most people, even without the apron.

Also, modern dental X-rays are more focused, meaning they only target a small area of the mouth, reducing exposure to the rest of the body. Because of these improvements, led aprons are not needed anymore. Dentists and scientists agree that the new X-ray machines are safe enough on their own.
