I'm a little hesitant to make full on recommendations but it's possible that these measurements have already been done. Generally, x-ray devices are registered with the State. Depending on where you are it's possible there's already a report on file.

In any case, dental x-rays, even panos, are pretty low power/low dose. And a GM isn't the best device to measure exposure due to the low energies and short duration of beam engagement.

That device says it does integrated dose rate measurements but I would caution that what it will very likely be reading is going to be natural background radiation. If you really wanted to do some long term monitoring you may want to look at film badges, and have one at a work station and one in a control area away from sources.

Maybe something like this?

You could also just see if the GM responds while the beam is engaged I suppose, but dose rates from dental x-rays to the patient are on the order of 0.005 mSv. The dose to someone a few meters away will be very close to 0.

Not trying to talk you out of it, just don't know that a low cost GM is going to give you great info on x-ray doses.
