Why am I not surprised!!

I never go anyway. However the my dentist uses one but I have to

No, sorry I didn't make myself clear. Since my twenties I have always had a private dentist. They always provide me with an thyroid guard if taking Xrays. An NHS one should provide this for free ask when making the appointment.

Not what you're looking for?
