To give you some statistics,
If no exposure is given to an individual, his chances of getting Cancer are 1 in 4 lacs.
If a single exposure of X ray is given to an individual, his chances of getting Cancer 1 in 3 lacs.
It is only CT Scan where a person may get exposure equal to hundreds of X S that the Cancer risk is significant. One or two X ray make no difference.

Cancer happens when there is frequent exposure to radiation. Single xray doesn't put you in danger of cancer
