Yes, dental X-rays are safe. They use a very low level of radiation, and modern technology has made them even safer by minimizing exposure.

The benefits of dental X-rays, such as detecting issues early, far outweigh the minimal risk associated with the radiation.
Dental X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that helps us identify problems that may not be visible during a regular dental exam. They can detect cavities, bone loss, infections, and other issues at an early stage, allowing for timely and effective treatment. Regular X-rays are important in maintaining your overall oral health and preventing more serious problems down the line.
