Dental Radiography is a complex subject, so where do we start?! The physics, biology, and technique all come together in the x-ray tubehead when the x-ray is produced. But….there are so many steps how can we remember them all?! Join Claire & Amanda for a special episode with guest April Turner, the National Board Success Manager in the dental hygiene program at West Coast University in Southern California. She’s going to walk us through the production of an x-ray from beginning to end while explaining all of the components of the tubehead. This is a great review of the basic concepts of radiography for the DH student, the RDH, and the DH educator!
Thank you for joining us today and see you again soon!
