    I think a good doctor wouldn’t even say it’s safe. It’s more accurate to say: the potential harm of a single x-ray is small/negligible, and the benefit of being able to correctly diagnose you and create an informed treatment plan is well worth that risk.

    Crossing the street isn’t completely safe, but if you need to get to the other side, you take that risk because it’s worth it. But you shouldn’t cross the street willy nilly for no reason, that would be stupidly dangerous. It’s kind of like that.
