[ RadSafe ] Dental X-ray doses

[Doug Huffman]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_x-ray  "The dosage of X-ray
radiation received by a dental patient is typically small (around 0.005
mSv), equivalent to a few days' worth of background environmental
radiation exposure, or similar to the dose received during a
cross-country airplane flight (concentrated into one short burst aimed
at a small area)."
