To protect from stray radiation. Yes, it seems a little silly: "Here, put on this vest while I aim the barrel of this thing right at your head" but the thought is more along the lines of "We've got to send them streaming through your jaw, there's no help for that, but we might as well protect the rest of your body."
It is important to use the lead shield during dental x-rays so that the x-ray only gets the teeth and roots that the dentist wants to see. If the shield was not used, it would go right through to the other side of your mouth.
X-rays will not pass through lead material. So lead aprons would protect the other parts of the body from X radiations.
The lead apron used in the dental office by the patient is not for the protection of the patient... it is for the protection of the dental staff!
The x-ray machine directs a focused beam of x-rays into the patients mouth. When the x-ray particles strick the tissue to crate the image on the film, the x-ray particles veer off it random directions. colliding with other stable atoms and in the process they pickup energy as they create free radicales. The charged particles go flying in all directions. This means throughout the patients body.... entire body! The lead apron absorbs or blocks the x-rays from leaving the body and reduce the dose of radiation that the dental staff receives.
It's not for you, it's for them.
The lead blocks the radiation - blocking the radiation is important to protect the reproductive organs which are very radiosensitive, but also to protect other parts of the body from unnecessary radiation as excessive radiation is known to cause cancer.
Lead is well suited for protection from radiation since it is an extremely dense element. It greatly reduces the number of gamma and x-rays which come into direct contact with the body, although a lead apron cannot, of course, stop all such rays. Some consumers may be familiar with a lead apron in the form of dental x-ray protection, in which case it is worn on the body while the teeth are being imaged, to protect the patient from radiation scatter.
A heavy lead apron is draped across dental patients before their teeth are x-rayed. This is done in order to offer protection from the radiation.
