    A dental professional wearing PPE (surgical mask, safety glasses, and blue latex gloves) is positioning a dental X-ray machine toward a seated patient. The patient is wearing protective dark glasses and a blue dental bib, with an X-ray sensor or film holder placed in their mouth. The setting is a modern dental operatory with wood-paneled cabinetry visible in the background.

With modern digital radiography, a routine X-ray emits less radiation exposure than a standard cross-country commercial flight.
