Is receipt of large amounts of therapeutic radiation to the head and neck area a contraindication to future dental radiographs?
What will be an ideal response?
No. The radiographer should share the patient's concern for radiation safety. However, radiation therapy is not a contraindication to dental radiographs provided they are deemed necessary to make an oral diagnosis.
