RE: Dental X-Rays Might Lead to Small Babies
Since heart problems and dental work have been linked (due to bacterial entry to the bloodstream through the exposed tissue) this seems to be a confounding factor worth investigation.

Subject: RE: Dental X-Rays Might Lead to Small Babies
Sadly, studies like this, where "the researchers lacked information on
why the women received X-rays", result in headlines like "Baby's weight
depends on mom's X-ray exposure". If the underlying causes of the low
birth weights are the dental problems being addressed by the X-rays and
thus now fewer pregnant women will be addressing their dental problems
because of such headlines, then we can expect an INCREASE in low birth
weight babies now...
