I've just been to the dentist for a regular cleaning and before I could even see the dentist I was brought over to the panoramic x ray where I put my head inside and she took about 3 x rays. then I was brought over to the chair where I had 18 more x rays. then the dentist came over said 2 words to me and then I got a cleaning by the hygienist. Now I'm home and I did some research to find out that dental x rays can be really bad for you and they do it just for the money. I'm so devastated right now I feel like crying. If anyone has any information on if this is harmful to my health please tell me.
