Answer 1

No. The amount of radiation used is almost unmeasurable. Your dentist probably gave you a lead apron as well. The answer above this is just being stupid and trying to scare you.

Answer 2

The site provided below has many questions and answers regarding radiation exposure and pregnancy. All answers are given by qualified medical personnel. This is what one Certified Medical Health Physicist said regarding dental x-ray and pregnancy:

"Dental x rays, as with most x rays, are taken with the machine focused right on the area where the x rays need to go. Because of this there is virtually no exposure to anything other than the item of interest (in this case, a tooth or teeth). While dental x rays would not expose your baby, there could be exposure of the baby if you had abdominal or pelvic x rays. In case you’re interested, after week 20 the baby is fairly insensitive to radiation exposure—relative to the first 12 weeks of gestation. So, there are two things working in your favor!"
