Xrays are produced by stopping fast moving electrons by allowing it to bombard on a target. The kinetic energy 1/2 m v2 is changed into hv, here h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of Xradiation
Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but could be changed from one form to the other
So electrostatic potential energy ----> kinetic energy ------> photon energy
Well, actually no. X-rays are actually powerful penetrating waves that can seep into anything soft, such as skin, and be absorbed by hard things, such as bones or metal. Though, if the doctor or dentist, etc. didn't put a large thing of lead around your neck, the X-rays would eventually kill you.
