Re : Dental XRays

Dental xrays are just xrays, they are gamma rays that just pass directly
through the body and are dissipated in lead shields.

Xrays are only damaging to tissues directly in their path when focused, and
then only when used in incredibly high concentrations.

They in no way pass into milk. They are not deposited, stored, or change
milk in any way.

Even a woman receiving high doses of Xray for cancer, say of the cervix,
etc, could breastfeed immediately after receiving therapy.
