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.
