Asking For Self, Male 29, Lahore

Any radiologist please help. I went for dental x ray and the machine looked very old. it had strange head on it also. may be x ray tube head. i am afraid if that faulty machine can emit huge radiation and expose me to it. is that possible for me to get cancer from this one exposure? or am i just being fearful?

The risk of few cancers increases with dosage of radiation recieves by an individual, however, it is less likely to get cancer by a single exposure from xray tube

You are just being fearful . But do try to visit medical practitioners who have latest machine or atleast have proper cleaning methods.
