And, expanding on Glen's comment, the new digital sensors are even more sensitive.

It might not be as deadly as is widely believed. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,519043,00.html Since the sources aren't given, I won't vouch for the accuracy, but it does raise questions.

People in developed countries have had their lifespans increase a lot over the last 50-100 years, despite all the scares about this that and the other thing (coffee good! ooops no coffee bad!, well, a little is OK!). Since people aren't generally dying now from preventable/curable/treatable diseases, now the third or fourth-order things become issues. Eat well, exercise, go to the doc occasionally, brush your teeth, get vaccinations, have a beer or wine, don't smoke, stay away from crazies, don't do stupid things, and you will very likely live a long full happy life, and live long enough for the old age things finally to kill you, at 100+.

Re: [MBZ] OT Safety of X-rays
It's all a matter of managing risk. Dental x-rays use much less radiation than they did 30 years ago. There are new, faster, whole body 3-D scans that now use more radiation than the older methods -- you can't lump all diagnostic x-rays into one bucket and make blanket statements about safety, or the lack there-of.
