I am a Registered Dental Hygienist. I clean teeth, take x-rays and point out the spots that the Dentist will proclaim to be cavities (I am not legally permitted to diagnose disease). I LOVE being in a health field. I meet tons of new people and use my knowledge of the whole body to give advice on healthier living. But who knows, in a couple of years (if I can afford it) I would like to go back to school and become an Oral Surgeon and cut ppl up.
well, if you know where the cavaties are, then why do i have to get x-rays just to discover that i don't have any?
because we can see in between the teeth. we can only see the tops and the sides of the teeth. please don't tell me you are one of those types that gets their panties in a bunch over x-rays.
yeah well if i have to spend the money to get them EVERY time i go to the dentist, and she always looks at them and says "Your teeth are beatiful, you can go", i don't see the point of them. like, ok, why did we do this?
on another note, my dentist is kinda hot.
Because if something ended up to be wrong (and could have been diagnosed sooner in an x-ray that should have been updated yearly or every year and a half) you could sue. You could sue us for supervised neglect. It isn't fun.
