Although the fetus is sensitive to x-rays, according to scientific studies, the amount of radiation needed to prepare radiographs of all teeth is much less than the amount of radiation that may harm the fetus,also using lead apron prevents x-rays from reaching the fetus.
However, it is better to postpone selective and unnecessary radiographs until after the end of pregnancy, and during this period, a limited number of radiographs should be prepared only in cases of emergency treatment. The first trimester of pregnancy, when the fetal organs are formed, radiography should be avoided as much as possible, and dental radiography should be done in the third trimester of pregnancy using a lead apron so that there is no risk to the fetus.
