A new study finds patients who have dental x-rays may increase their risk of brain cancer.

Yale researchers followed 1,400 people over their lifetimes --and found those who had dental x-rays at least once a year had up to double the risk of developing brain tumors.

Patients are exposed to lower doses of radiation now than in the past.
