No, because exposure to x ray during dental treatment is very minimal. They won't cause cancer. Still have queries then please consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Radiation dose due to dental exposure is very minimum. You can take 200 dental radiographs when compared to 1 chest radiograph . Chances of getting cancer are very very rare with dental xray exposure.
Next Steps

No The intra oral xray film being a very small size needs very little exposure for recording data. Hence there's no chance of occurence of cancer

Hello ..... Nothing of that sort as dental x-ray uses minimal radiation . Try to go in for OPG as this minimizes need to take repeated x-rays unless the treatment plan  demands .
