In the history of commercial international air travel flight atendants have married and proceeded to have families.

If the amount of radiation referenced by this study was harmful, there would be a pattern of flight attendants having low birthweight babies in much higher proportions than the general population of non-flying women.

The original comment on this thread was for women who may be or about to be pregnant not to get dental x-rays. I think that is a 'knee-jerk' reaction to suspect statistics, unless the comment was made as sarcasm.

I think the researcher's sample was much too small to reach such a conclusion.

They looked at over 5,000 infants. The numbers are impressive, as are the study's finding, IMO. No radical change of habits needed: women should be sure they're not pregnant before getting dental x-rays. No big deal--it's the percentage move to make.
