I Am a Dental Assistant11/04/2009 |
I am a dental assistant, but now i am 8 weeks pragnent it is safe to take dental xray to the patients
Operation protection guidelines are the same for pregnant and non-pregnant radiographers. No extra precautions are necessary for pregnant dental radiographers. The dental radiographer must avoid the primary beam of radiation. If a wall is not provided to stand behind, then the radiographer must stand at least 6 feet away from the x-ray tubehead and at a 90 - 135 degree angle of the primary beam during x-ray exposure.
A personnel-monitoring device known as a film badge can be obtained from a film badge service company. The company evaluates the badge for exposure and then provides the dental office with an exposure report for each radiographer.
