Dangers of dental x-rays

Reference: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/15/health/living-well/dental-x-rays/index.html?hpt=hp_bn6

Summary: An article about the dangers of dental x-rays and how they may expose us to radiation. Informs us about how to confront your dentist about it and make sure its not just so they can pay the heavy bill from these x-ray machines.

Critique: Honestly it sort of freaked me out. 1. I have braces so i have to get those x-rays regularly. 2. I hope they aren't using me just to get money! haha!!!

Impact: We should stop and think about why we need an x-ray, and ask our dentists because otherwise we may be exposed to radiation and cancer
