2 /5 Nadine Cresswell-Myatt: I am sure his work is is fine. But as a patient do you really want the work worth over 2000 dollars done in one sitting. Hes drilling but you are the person with your mouth ultra wide open and under severe stress for over an hour. The numbing needle is also done in a hurry. To be honest it hurt. I think he should let people know there are two x-rays involved and that he isnt using a thryoid shield unless they complain. He might say it is the same radiation as watching TV but why high-tale it out of the room during the x-ray. Harvard dentistry school is examining the impact of x-rays on thyroids. Because dental radiography, a common source of low-dose diagnostic radiation exposure in the general population, is often overlooked as a radiation hazard to the gland and may be associated with the risk of thyroid cancer. An increased risk of thyroid cancer has been reported in dentists, dental assistants, and x-ray workers; and exposure to dental x-rays has been associated with an increased risk of meningiomas and salivary tumours. Im missing half a thryoid I would have demanded the shield if Id known he was going to do an x-ray but I wasnt even told that the x-ray was happening. I was simply told to hold this while he and the dental nurse high-tailed it out of the room.
