Is there any danger in taking too many radiographies? Haw many is too many?!
Question: Too much of anything is dangerous:
"Too much radiation at one body site can cause skin conditions resembling severe burns or local cancers."
"The average dental X ray now delivers 5 r., but this is only to the jaw: the "scatter" radiation reaching the gonads from this is a mere .005 r. in a man and .001 r. in a woman. It would thus take 2,000 X rays to deliver a presumably damaging 10 r. to a man's gonads."
