Digital X-rays emit an extremely low amount of radiation. The technical measurement of one full set of digital X-rays is approximately 0.005 mSv, or Millisievert, which amounts to less radiation one would be exposed to during a very short airplane ride. In fact, the amount of radiation emitted from a round of digital X-rays is less than the amount of radiation we are exposed to in one day naturally, from the sun, the Earth, and various technologies we use daily. All 123Dentist offices diligently record patient X-rays and estimated cumulative radiation doses to ensure that patients are never exposed to unnecessary or unhealthy amounts of radiation.
