No. You will be fine. Now a days the dentistry x- rays are all done with very little radiology. Call your dentist back and tell them and they will probably tell you the same thing. To be even safer, talk to your doc about It as well. But don't worry.

I've only heard of x-rays being harmful during pregnancy but not on the day of probable conception and I've only been warned against x-rays done on the abdomin where your reproductive organs are located and a baby would form but you should probably ask a doctor

I wouldn't be concerned. They should have put one of those heavy shielded vests on you. I would be more concerned about things like smoking (first or second hand) and drinking alcohol before I would be worried about 1 dental x-ray

no it would only harm ur baby if u were in the late stages of pregnancy or anywhere after 6 or 8weeks i think it is
but if ur still concerned talk with ur doctor or midwife and they will ease ur mind

naw. that's what the iron aprons are for. tell them next time you go, though.
it's good that you're continuing dental care, it's really important during pregnancy. cavities are more common, as is gum disease. also, bacteria in your mouth (the same that cause gum disease) can increase the chances of miscarraige.

probably not, bring this up with your doctor but my friend broke her fingers before finding out she was pregnant, so she got xrays and took pains meds and so far so good, just make sure you bring it up with your doctor, dont stress out!!!

Highly unlikely, it is a minimal amount of radiation and they cover that portion of your body...congrats.
