Are X-rays bad??

Selena

Curious to know cause I’ve heard some say it doesn’t harm but others say the opposite so is it bad to be taking X-rays on patients since I’m a Dental assistant? When we take them we have to set out of the room and hide behind a wall so we’re not actually in there at the same time we click the button to take the X-rays???

I’m 5 weeks pregnant but it’s my first child
