Actually, dental x-rays typically run 60 to 70 kV at only
a few mAs. However, medical x-rays can run >100 kV at 
hundreds of mAs, depending on how much soft tissue that
must be pentrated to get a clear image of the target "innards".
Of course, exposure time is nearly always in the fractions of
a second.
