Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda reviews the American Dental Association’s (ADA) updated dental radiography safety recommendation, specifically advocating against led aprons.
Modern digital X-rays and precise beam targeting are essential when taking dental X-rays. Dr. Sanda reviews the ADA’s paper outlining their new safety recommendations, Optimizing radiation safety in dentistry, to show that ionizing radiation from dental X-rays is a carcinogen. Children and younger adults are more susceptible to the effects of radiation because their cells are growing and their organs are more sensitive to radiation. Dr. Sanda recommends antioxidants to combat oxidative stress from dental imaging. Practicing safe radiation exposure is vital for your health!
