>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.
