My new dentist wants to take X rays. I have Hashi's (or maybe Ord's but I've never had a scan nor can I feel anything untoward.)
I have read conflicting reports on the efficacy and necessity of thyroid guards/collars when having dental X rays. The new dentist has neither.
The practice manager said I would be exposed to more radiation on a plane journey than exposure during X rays. (Yes, but not directed in the vicinity of my thyroid.)
Should I be concerned?
Thankyou for any advice/opinions.
