Would X-Rays affect FUE grafts?

May 22, 2016
Asked By:bbaki in MY

Hi all, I am approximately 8 weeks post FUE. I just had a dental x-ray (the bite-wing variety...). I did not think too much of it at the point, but it's been weighing on my mind since - since we're advised to stay out of the sun, perhaps X-Rays are harmful as well? Is this of any concern? Can X-Rays affect my results? Thanks for any and all input.
