No. The amount of radiation to which you are exposed during your mammogram is minimal.
Importantly, mammograms are a valuable tool for detecting breast cancer early, when it is most curable. A mammogram can detect a tumor as tiny as a pinhead, up to 2 years before you or your physician could feel the tumor.
Therefore, the benefits of a screening mammogram far outweigh any associated risks from the small amount of radiation exposure.
