I once had a patient and i forgot to tell him that it's going to rotate so when the test started he thought he was the one rotating then just fell on the ground lol
so no lead apron is needed to protect the rest of the body? I am really concerned I went to an appointment today and the person didn't give me anything. By the time I realized it it was too late.
No lead apron is needed for those, you aren't exposed to any radiation like other parts of your body. No reason to be concerned, besides its only for about 12 seconds
Tbh lead aprons are just for patient perception they don’t even really protect you and dental x rays are very small amount of radiation so I wouldn’t worry lol
Do panoramic X-rays show cavities? Please help. I don’t want to go back to dentist to get regular xrays just had a panoramic for wisdom teeth please help 🙏
Why is there not a lead cap that protects the head? How much radiation ends up going into the head? Is it the same amount as goes into the teeth and jaw? I ask because I had this done at a place in NY and they messed it up. They did the first one and for whatever reason didn't like it and so they did it again. They didn't have the machine low enough and so they ended up basically taking an x-ray of my entire head (eye socket, skull, etc). I remember in the waiting room the scan showed up on the screen and it had scanned my whole head. The Dr was acting really awkward about it and stood in front of the screen, didn't show me my x ray and was like "your jaw is fine." It was obvious to me something wasn't right, they didn't take the x ray properly and didn't want me to look at it. It has haunted me since that time (Jan 2018) what kind of x ray exposure I have had and if they irradiated my head or something and what my risks are now for brain cancer. But I will tell you getting copies of my x rays from these people has been hard. I requested them a while ago and never received them. I made another request this week and they were like "we only have one on file" and they sent me one cropped out showing my jaw only. I know they are playing games. They don't want to send me the full scans. So it just makes me wonder.....
It is a low does I thinks it’s even less then back ground radiation you get I looked it up a while ago but if you are interested you can look up the amount of radiation you would get I had to get mine redone like 3 or 4 times one time because I kept panicking but if it was too much radiation they would have to reschedule due to radiation regulations and laws for the lead cap thing I am guessing it wouldn’t do much to help or would mess with the image
If you use your tiny brain you could figure out that lead blocks the x-rays if you put a 😅lead apron around your head you'll block the X-ray machine and you won't get any reading dummies
I mean come on people how can you be so stupid... the world wants to come to America get a education but if you take a look around we're all freakin retarded... How can they possibly learn anything from idiots
i realize this is 2 years ago but having your eyes open makes literally no difference. The whole point of x ray imaging is it goes THROUGH skin, having your eyes shut would do nothing.

They didnt give me one either. I was worried too, but as i can see i guess its not mandatory
I guess
i didn't know that some people used lead apron but once i saw people using one i started to worry that it was needed and the dentist forgot

They do
Good morning. I would like to know what type of fiber optic cable does the OP100D use to connect to the computer?
Thanks

I need this xrays! The other one makes me gag every time and they can't continue with the procedure😭😂

Pano are low dose radiation. You get the same radiation exposure from eating a banana.

Is it safe?
I Believe So, They May Put A Jacket On You To Prevent Radiation In The Body.
Good question
@@adrianstephens3345sometimes they put jacket on you
I had this x-ray and i didnt receive a lead apron, and nobody told me to close my eyes, im worried
It’s ok you don’t really need it with how this mashing work you can look it up too it just a precaution

you do not move xray after patient bite block you dont know that
I pulled my own Wisdom tooth today :P lol jk but I am tempted
how about using some barriers and gloves smh
That machine is literally a cancer machine 😂😂
Isn't the radiation from these really low?
@@ThatOneScienceGuyyea
@@ThatOneScienceGuythey leave right away the radiation
