The technician asked me, "Which of your medical professionals is keeping track of how much radiation you are exposed to?" I laughed.

I'd like to know why you have to have dental xrays every year? I've had three dentists/hygienists over the past 10 years & if you don't agree to the annual xrays, they will not clean your teeth.
