Clinique Dac inc Information

At Clinique Dac, we are committed to providing our patients with the safest, most comfortable experience. We always make sure to keep the radiation exposure to the patient as low as possible, all the while ensuring an adequate radiological examination and accurate diagnosis. Appropriate shielding with a lead apron and thyroid collar is also used when exposing patients to radiation. Should there be more of a concern for pregnant women or for patients who have received radiation therapy? It is always recommended to defer elective procedures after the pregnancy. Pregnant patients requiring essential or emergency treatment should receive the minimum number of radiographs needed for diagnostic purposes. In addition, there is absolutely no medical contraindication to taking dental radiographs on patients who are receiving or who have had radiation therapy. At Clinique Dac, we never subject our patients to unnecessary x-rays! In conclusion, we hope that this article has helped to shed some light on a topic that might still appear controversial and elicit doubts or concerns for some of our patients. Good quality diagnostic x-rays are definitely crucial to maintaining your overall health, but remember that if you are not sure why a particular x-ray is being taken, you can always ask any of our team members at Clinique Dac to clarify the reasons for it.
