Here is one interesting comment:
Please bear with this long story. I am 72. In 1975 I had a wonderful dentist who must have been around 60 or more. I asked him why he did not do X-rays. He told me, “Ron, a good dentist does not need to do an xray.” So, I always remembered that. About 5 years later I was reading an article in Scientific America about the dangers Gamma radiation (the type of radiation used in med/dentist xrays). The article was very alarming; one you do not forget. It stated that Gamma rays are very harmful, and even low doses are potentially dangerous. So, I also remembered that. Then my family started to arrive in the early 80’s and my children and I, of course, went to the dentist. I never liked the fact that Xrays were adiministered, but I kept quiet. Then the dentist started to do these Xrays that were called [“panoramic”] or something like that. I was told that the dentist needed to be aware of any potential malformations, etc. The strangest thing finally happened: The dentist told me that my son had a “perfect mouth” and never would need any braces. However, the next time my son went to the dentist they again did the 360 degree Xray on my son. I called and stated my concern. About two weeks later I got a letter from the dentist and he told me to find another dentist. My wife, I and our children had been going to him for almost 20 years. It was gross. Finally, I had a very good friend whose daughter got a brain tumor (I do not remember if it was malignant). She had surgery – I believe – at the University of Minnesota and recovered. The surgeon told her that her tumor most likely was caused by…………….”dental xrays”. Thank you, Suneel, for your video. It struck a chord with me.
