Talk to Radiologist on Afraid Of Radiation Damage

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 26 years old, Lahore

I had a teeth problem and my doctor got an x ray of my teeth. The shop from where i got my x ray had an old machine (like most of the shops and hospitals in Pakistan). I have heard that old machines may be faulty and may emit a lot of radiations. I am afraid now that machine might be faulty and might have emitted a lot of radiations and it might cause cancer or brain tumor in my body? Will i be ok? Or can i get cancer due to that single exposure? Please help as i am a depression patient and this is not putting my mind on ease. Thankx

Thanks for querry.A single exposure in teeth can not cause you harm because these are soft radiations and are not strong enough to cause you harm.

Single xray tooth emits v v little amount of radiation which doesnt harm u body . So relax nothing happens normally with a single exposure
