Hi Lani, i was a dental assitant for 12 years and my boss used to xray so much. We were behind a metal wall but i did wonder. A dental technician shouldn't be affeted by radiation unless they do something i can't think of.
I am hopeless at reading those articles. In plain English(!!!!), can you tell me what it says please?
thanks
Christine
