Question:

I had dental x-ray and light cure ,and found out im pregnant ,will tht have harmfull effect?


Answers:

The light curing should have no effect and if you were properly protected with a lead shield it should not be a problem. The amount of radiation you get exposed to from a dental xray is minimal, you actually get more radiation from the sun or flying in a plane believe it or not. The only time I have been exposed to radiation while treating a patient was when I was pregnant (long story short my friends (who is a hygienist also) son was hurt and the only way to get the xray was for me to hold it for him, this is the only time I have ever been in the room with a patient when the xray was taken in 15 years) My son was born without ill effect, so breathe easier congratulations and watch out for all the other things you shouldn't be doing now.... Like eating unpasturized cheese... Good luck!
