How do X-rays work?<br />
When we have an X-ray, we must<br />
stand or lie very still. A machine<br />
sends X-rays through our body<br />
and takes a picture of the things<br />
it cannot pass through. The X-ray<br />
machine helps doctors see things,<br />
like teeth and bones, that are inside<br />
our bodies.<br />
What do doctors use X-rays for?<br />
Doctors use X-rays to check on our<br />
health. If we fall and hurt ourselves,<br />
they might take an X-ray to see<br />
if our bones are okay. X-rays also<br />
help doctors understand if anything<br />
unusual is happening inside<br />
our bodies.<br />
Are X-rays safe?<br />
While X-rays are helpful and safe,<br />
we only have them when they are<br />
essential. Some scientists say that<br />
too many X-rays might be harmful,<br />
so doctors are careful to use them<br />
only when they need to check on<br />
our health. When we have an X-ray,<br />
we must wear a special shield to<br />
protect the parts of our body that<br />
do not need the X-rays.<br />

Conclusion<br />
X-rays are like special lights that help doctors see inside our bodies.<br />

know that it is just a way to make sure they stay healthy and happy.<br />
