Radiation

When a patient is irradiated in order to take an X-ray, an area of their body is exposed to “ionising radiation”. This form of radiation has the potential to damage normal tissue cells if it is used in a high dose for a prolonged time. However, modern X-ray equipment is designed to minimise this dose of radiation in order to limit, as far as possible, any damaging effects on the human body while obtaining a clear image for diagnostic purposes. All members of the medical and dental team are committed to minimising the dose of radiation and keeping the exposure of the patient to a level as low as reasonably achievable. A small intra oral Xrays is the equivalent radiation of flying London to Spain ☘️.
