I just recently got a dental X-ray. I thought of it as a net gain to put off the longer term horror of extensive oral pain.
I've had the exact same experience.At one dentist I went to,
when I told the assistant I didn't want any x-rays,
she tried to brush it off by saying:
"Oh, these are just digital x-rays."
I never figured out what she meant by that.
Then, at another dentist,
he maybe explained the above expression
when he told me that the new x-ray machines they had just bought
use vastly less powerful rays than the old ones he used to have.
I'm willing to be him...he seemed like an honest guy and on-the-level,
but still....
