I had a dental xray done before i even knew i was pregnant, probably around 4 weeks. Now im panicking thinking it might have harmed the baby. Has anyone been through this? Im really tense.
One dental or limb xray with proper shielding is usually low risk, but they avoid tummy area xrays unless really needed. The main thing is to inform them beforehand so they decide. Never hide that you are pregnant during any scan.
I once had a dental xray before I knew I was pregnant and I panicked so much. My doc calmed me down and said it was fine since it was shielded and far from the belly. So dont stress, but always inform them going forward.
Please always tell the technician and your doctor that you are pregnant before any xray. They take extra precautions or avoid it if not needed. Dont take it casually, ask your gynac first.
