Now it's easy and convenient to monitor radiation exposure, and to give you and your staff peace of mind. X-rays used in dentistry are generally lower in radiation than those used in other medical fields. Despite the lower dose, radiation exposure is cumulative, comprising an occupational hazard for dental hygienists and technicians who administer x-rays on a regular basis. It's important to be aware of the risks of radiation exposure and take steps to limit that exposure.
