Dental x-ray costed me $135 (no insurance) !! is that normal?!
Question: They started with some new x-ray which has less radiation, but when they inserted the 1st strip in my mouth, I could'nt take the pain and it bruised my soft palate.
So they did 6 B.W.X and rest x-ray was done with something that moved around my head, I guess its called digital x-ray.
They charged me $135. Is this the normal price?

Yes, thats about right.
You could always go have a cleaning and x-rays taken at a school that teaches dental hygiene, if there is one that is close enough to where you live. It's worth looking into.
At my school we charge $20 for just x-rays and then only $5 for a cleaning, if you were to have them done on different days, and $25 for a cleaning and x-rays at the same appointment.
Sounds about right to me.

The xray that went around your head is called a panorex, and yep, they are usually pretty expensive.
In the office I worked in that used one, we charged $78 for the pano and $20 for the first BWX and $16 for each one after that.
Some offices offer a discount if you pay in cash. Ask 'em.
Probably,
In Ireland it costs us 90Euro for a dental X-Ray,
