I'm glad on this discussion group other people agree. Cause usual
people will just say this is ridiculous.

I try as much as I can not to undergo X-rays. But this is the
dentist who removed my amalgams, and he told me that after a while he
would need to check if the work was okay with a panoramic.

The 20 x-rays thing is what I read on the net, I don't remember,
maybe 500 ..rem or something per year and that an x-ray was
20...rem. Don't remember exactly. But I agree with you this is a
lie as usual. My brain is really saying no to those stuffs.
