The first dental radiograph was taken in January 1896 by Otto Walkhoff, D.D.S., M.D., in Brunswick, Germany, a few daysafter Wilhelm Roentgen published about his discovery ofx-rays. Dr. Walkhoff placed a small photographic plate wrapped in rubberdam in his mouth and subjected himself to 25 minutes of x-ray exposure. Exposure times today are in the range of 0.01 - 0.03 seconds.

What is a better choice to be a certified dental assistant or a dental assistant?

It is actually the choice of being a certified dental assistant or a REGISTERED dental assistant. The difference in the two, is that if you are a CDA you have taken an exam administered by the DANB (Dental Assisting National Board), and if you are an RDA then you have taken an exam administered by your state dental board. I am an expanded-functions RDA and can get a good job anywhere in the state, but I wish to travel to another state and still be in the career of dental assisting then I would need to get my CDA. :) So in conclusion, it really only matters if you are planning on traveling.

How many rads are in a dental X-ray?

The exposure one receives from a radiograph/x-ray at the dentist is dependent upon what type of x-ray is taken and how many. Dental x-rays of any kind are much safer/lower radiation exposure than most medical x-ray exposures, especially including CT scans. CT scan of your head ~ 200 mrem CT scan of the heart ~ 2,000 mrem Dental Bitewing ~ 0.5 mrem (you typically receive about the same or more radiation annually from living in the mountains (closer to outter space) compared to someone at sea level, as you do during a dental x-ray (both of which are typically less than a 1/6th your usual annual exposure to radiation from the environment).)
