What really pisses me off is that if you need to see a different dentist or an endodontist, they all insist on doing their own Xrays, even though I just got some from the other guy
I just recently acquiesced to the pressure from my dentist to do asymptomatic screening Xrays for the last time
The primary reason most dentists push x-rays it's because it's a very easy way to generate money
My dentist refused service to me because I didn’t want a routine dental X-ray. She also mentioned that dental X-rays are less than exposure of cell-phones (yes she said that!) and was incredibly argumentative and unpleasant.
I also found the recommendation of the ADA and went to a dentist forum on Reddit where I got burned at the stake for mentioning it.
When I saw this I thought of the old seinfeld episode the dentist
I was diagnosed with a meningioma at 16 and had emergency surgery right after a CT scan following a series of focal seizures. It was likely the most traumatic event of my life. I was stuck at a children's hospital with another kid with multiple malignant tumors. Fortunately I was discharged by the end of that week, although I spent most of the summer going through physical therapy. Fortunately, I've been doing incredibly well since then. If anything, the surgery must've helped improve my physicality. I lost 30 pounds the following year and took up physical hobbies I never would've dreamed of taking part in.
I still question how I wound up with it, though. The psychiatrist suggested that it grew over the course of 3-4 years. Beforehand, I had dental checkups twice a year, including the use of bite-down x-rays.
I don't know if it was the direct cause, but it scares me to know that may have increased the chance of me having one.
The radiation triggers internal growth within the tissues of the organ that creates a tumour.
Thanks for sharing. The dentist told me it was a digital xray so less dosage. That is still an xray. The receptionist said xrays are a day in the sun. Why doesn't she wear lead aprons outside? The xray techs played good cop/bad cop. One tried to shame me like we are not in the dark ages. The other acted chipper like it was just taking a selfie. I just left. You could not talk to them because of their programming. A patient at the xray stool looked like a brain dead zombie. All I wanted was a baby tooth removed. I am 41. I already had an xray about it in the past. There were no crooked roots. They did not believe me. They said their could be cysts and infections. I said no. No pain from it. It is just an unnatural color and food catches by it. My wife said it should get out. I still kept it. God save us from the institutionalists. Dentist never said hello or told me his name. He is just living a sad life. He hid away in another room. The other check in lady would not even look at me when I left. She is in the path of the radiation by a thin wall. I pray she leaves. She was beautiful. The only highlight of that experience. Ha!
I’m a dentist, and I advise everyone reading to please never take “routine” dental X-rays, many other diagnostic tools and methods exists in modern dentistry that don’t involve radiation . However, in cases of emergency pain and tooth extractions they are necessary. Just avoid as much as possible . I don’t do it to myself, why should you .Thanks
$$$$$$$$$$$$ that's why
i take dental xrays like 10 times a day for patients am i in any fuckedup position? idont wear nothing i just put the led apron on the them go outside nd push the button back and forth 18times for a full set of xrays .. once u hear the button click do we wait for a few to go back n da room or radiation stops immediately once the button was pushed ?…. lmk thnku
After each X-ray you need time for your DNA to repair before the next X-ray.
Caution is needed for X-rays but on the other hand they can detect shocking cavity’s and prevent teeth problems.
Just got my dental xrays and the lady took almost 30 min
I must have had more than 50 dental xrays and 5 chest 5 leg & 2 ct scans and 3foot xrays ,should I be worried?

I just got a job as technical engineer for dental equipment, i specialized in FONA brand dental panoramic xray. We then repaired an undetected digital sensor and after process we did mechanical alignment and then calibration of the machine. What was disturbing to me was the fact that i was exposed 3 times as part of the process. Damn it! Any thought?
I have a lot of dental work I have to get done. Bone grafts, implants, fillings, and gum grafts. This sucks
U are ready right, dentist should xray for only reasonable.
Actually have a meningioma (sp)…yeah… 20 yrs …3 surgeries and radiation treatments later….still there:(
Skull is fake, In accordance with the contours face
Led jackets? They don't give you that shit in the UK?
The recommendations are confusing. The text says "dentists should not prescribe routine dental radiographs at preset intervals for all patients." But in Table 1, it says that adults who are recall patients with no clinical caries and not at increased risk of developing caries should still receive "posterior bite wing examination at 24- to 36-month intervals."
To know what a hangover feels like, they need to shoot your head 12 times.
It was not a good experience.
Lead apron, thyroid shield? Never had any of those at any dentist. Well, I'm going to be declining the routine x-rays now. I do realise the x-ray I had before wisdom tooth surgery was valuable, but just to look for cavities – which can be checked for visually already – doesn't seem that important to me.
I got 24 today. I was not comfortable at all. I have to go back for a cleaning in 12 days.
I just got my 19th or 20th dental xray 3 days ago as I was wearing a pre made special head gear because I had a brain tumor & have a missing skull for 2 yrs! I believe I got my tumors because of life long x rays especially as a child!!! I just wore an apron to cover my throat which doesn't really help bc I already have thyroid problems, but nothing to cover my exposed head while the dentist took pictures!!
OR. OR. You eat like shit so you have to go to the dentist more, and also your shitty diet gives you a brain tumor. (This just seems to be the trend I'm learning from you.)
However I'm now going to start asking my dentist to stop microwaving my head. They seem to be more fond of it than my previous dentist.
It's on the Internet, It has to be true!! Laughable!!!
uhhh………….
this has to be a lie???
ok yah im going to go get a Catscan now wish me luck people
Thank you ! Like pulling teeth (hehe) trying to find good info. as you have here on this subject. Seems the dentists just want you to go along with their x-ray programs. I'll bet they lease that machine and get paid for using it or some neat little arrangement like that. Kind of like doctors prescribing all the latest poisons from Big Pharma and getting huge bennies for it which I know they do. Same folks run both professions I would imagine. No offense to any dental readers. What's a dental reader ? You get it. Hey. All I'm looking for is some facts. Why was it hundreds of times more dangerous 30 years ago ? Were they trying to kill us then ? (yes) And now ? (probably) So where's the evidence. Sure the machines are 300 times smaller, but so are bio weapons and they can kill a whole city at once. Let's just not fall for lies forever is all I would ask ! Again, thanks so much for your research ! Good to know.
Ist vielleicht jemand hier, der mir das auf deutsch zusammenfassen kann? Danke sehr =)
The problem with the study is that frequency of dental X-rays was self reported. As a dental hygienist who has taken thousands of x-Rays I can tell you that patients have no clue when and how many X-rays they've had in the past without actual dental records.
from what i was told, you absorb more radiation from a day at the beach then you do from dental x rays. im not exactly worried about this
My dentist just recently acquired all new equipment, now x rays are mandatory or he won't see me. I used to be able to sign a release and avoid them. X rays at set intervals are ridiculous! My doctor doesn't x ray my body at pre set intervals. I feel we should be able to sue our insurance companies for retaining dentists that insist on x rays when nothing is wrong! I'm all for x rays when needed only. Come on sheeple voice your opinion to your dentist and your insurance company. I walked out on that cleaning appointment and am currently looking for a new dentist.
This is great. I usually push back against dental x-rays, but eventually give in every few years. This gives me professional agreement that it does not make sense to take e-rays unless I have a complaint. This is especially true for someone like myself that never has cavities. My doctor doesn't x-ray my body if I don't have a complaint.
I have not been to dentist for 15 years. Recently dentist took panoramic X-ray of my teeth resulting in: I felt like my brain was scrambled – could not think properly.
Headaches in 5 different spots of the head. Sleeplesnes – was up whole night. Feeling sick to the point of vamitting. Hot sensation in the head. Drop in blood presure and circulation. 5 days later still having headaches and can not sleep. (its 4am now) Does this mean that i have a Radiation poisoning ? I believe so!
Keep your children away from X-RAYS!!!! Certain foods can reduce poisoning..
I am considering a legal action against dentist for not warning me against all this.
Fuckin' great…I get x-rays all the god damn time from my dentists. When I had braces I had several full head x-rays and probably up to 10 normal head x-rays now. That's a lot. Why did I watch this?!
Great video thanks….one question..could dental xrays, cause the pituitary gland to malfunction. Or create a pituitary tumor??
About 6 months ago I was standing at the payment window for my dentist and I got zapped by an x-ray machine. I carry a gamma spectroscopic dosimeter (Polimaster 1703MO-1B) on my side, which suddenly alerted and climbed to about 1 uSv/hr. The dose rate was small, but it bugged me that I was getting blasted in the waiting room. It took a few seconds, so I assume it was a panoramic x-ray.
I'll be avoiding these now as much as possible, but out of curiosity, could dentists use a cap to protect the brain from exposure like they do the other areas?
Crap..
I just recently discovered this channel. I can't stop watching your vids.
Thanks for all this info!
Ottimo!
gr8, another reason i hate the dentist… i think i'll go become a dental assistant =P
freakin' clever-ass radiologists.
