Hello. I am supposed to go to a biological dentist later whose xray regimen is per below. She is evidently an excellent and skilled dentist and boilogical; yet she goes crazy with the x-rays and gives people a homeopathic after them to "detox" them. I dont really buy that aspect but i am trying to get to the bottom of what is going on with my teeth as I have sinus symptoms that I think are related; yet I am torn on the required roster of x-rays per below. Does anyone have any input on this:
"We're so sorry to hear that! We can take the 2D x-rays (FMX) with the protective vest with the thyroid collar tight and in place. However, for the 3D x-ray (CBCT) we can't use the vest or collar, it causes scatter so we wouldn't be able to evaluate from the imaging. The machine for CBCT that we have is the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose and only scans the jaw to the top of the head, it does not interfere with the thyroid or require a vest and/or collar to be worn for protection.
Can we take the CBCT without a vest and collar, but use it for the FMX? "
?
