I just started as a dental assistant and I completely suck at doing FMX’s this helped so much! Thank you❤

[@CR-hq1uz]

they need to invent a better system for taking intraoral x-rays. this is impossible for people with severe gag reflex.

[@TeethTalk]

here is my video with tips and tricks to prevent gagging - hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSzXmOQltmHqbM

I agree 😢

[@roofusJohnson]

Get a Panorex done. Tons of radiation though.

[@sashahazim5436]

the only x-ray video that didn’t totally confuse me, thank you!

[@Lilysbizzareadventures]

Thank you for all the tips. Awesome video at my previous job. I worked at I would get in so much trouble if any part of the tooth crown surface was cut off or if it was even slightly not exact how they wanted it. I felt very stressed all the time because I was constantly having to retake my x-rays, it wasn’t actually the Doctor Who gave me a hard time rather the office manager something to do with the insurance companies. This became one of the most stressful part of my job as a dental assistant, because I always felt nervous taking the x-rays.

[@stonksssss]

Just came from the dentist and they did that to me 😂

[@TeethTalk]

look at that timing!

[@fatherleo4603]

I just realized this man has no fillings, crowns, etc! What a lucky guy!

Great ♥️ Explain more and more about X-rays and all about it. We appreciate it ..♥️

thank you for watching! here is my page all about x-rays! hope this helps: teethtalkgirl.com/videos/dental-xrays?rq=xray

[@JordyJRT]

It’s super interesting you’re using a round headed collimator! These have been fully phased out in Europe as they deliver an increased dose and broader field of rays that never actually reach the sensor so are useless and increase patient risk. Is it common practice for these to be used still in America?

[@dominiquecox2916]

I’ve worked in dental the past 4 years and have never seen a square collimator in any office I’ve worked at!

[@JordyJRT]

@@dominiquecox2916 That’s so interesting! Here the collimator is the exact same size and shape as a size 2 film, can make getting the film completely perfect a bit difficult as it has to be completely lined up but I believe it produces about 40% less radiation than a round collimator for the same result! I would’ve thought these were common practice worldwide now!

[@jenshaw8085]

Yes it’s common practice in the USA. Unfortunately, America is shit about safety compared to the rest of the World.

[@taylorpiercey3190]

Maxillary posterior periapicals were the toughest to get perfect when I was learning.

[@TeethTalk]

SAME!

[@maxhr1749]

Great X-rays!!

[@cbkeno81]

I can’t do bitewings gag too much just do fullmouth x rays

[@emilio2200]

a full mouth is with bitewings ??

[@kkk.6266]

Hi! Can you please do a video on buccal pits? Thank you! Luv your videossss. I watched every single one of them!

[@TeethTalk]

thank you so much for your kind comment! totally! I'll add a buccal pits video to my list :) :) thanks for the suggestion!

[@yousifkalameen]

Very useful video

[@annearaullo2917]

Hi: Could you make an updated video about the different types of fluoride in toothpastes (Ex. stannous fluoride) & other additives for gum health, tartar control, whitening, etc.? Also - what % or concentration of fluoride should we look for in toothpaste? TY

[@TeethTalk]

great video idea! will totally add this to my list! thank you for the suggestion :)

[@karimaogden3875]

@annearaullo2917.....Ideal fluoride concentration is 1450 ppm.

[@annearaullo2917]

Hi. Really appreciate your content. Could you please do a follow up on the incipient decay on your tooth? Has it re-mineralized? Thanks.

[@TeethTalk]

hi! thank you SO much for asking and remembering :) never missed a night of flossing! doing well so far! it has not changed :) all good!

[@TeethTalk]

will take bitewings at my next cleaning and we will confirm :)

[@yeseniax9173]

Can you make one using the snap ray ?

[@kyleung2187]

How do you avoid cross contamination touching someone mouth and touching the equipment??

[@TeethTalk]

we put barriers on everything we can! and we also use a disinfectant on everything else that was touched after as well! here's my sterilization/disinfection/sanitization video -- hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5Oonnl9ftCikLc

[@alyssatomalewski781]

This video is amazing! Although I saw that your patient was holding the film holder for you, which I was told that was not good- what are your thoughts?

[@TeethTalk]

I always learned in school that the clinician should never hold it for the patient -- but it's okay for the patient to hold it themself if it's needed to capture a diagnostic image. I'm definitely about to look into this further -- to see if there's any research about it. Thank you!!

[@ቅ.ሚካኤልጠብቀን]

Where can I get the video for bignner u r fast how in the world I see how u put

[@ayeshaayesha1041]

My appointment is tomorrow..🤲

[@tundra00]

Im new and struggle with getting the lower anterior xray. I’ve noticed you have the patient holding the rin in place. I wanna try this. Should I tell the patient to apply pressure and hold it in place after I position the sensor? Thanks so much in advance !

[@sashalee6162]

because of the pandemic infection control department in our hospital prohibits us to use rinn xray holders unless every patient would be provided with a set. so we went on taking xrays with just the sensor and the patient just holding the sensor. I mean it was tough..

[@sdante123]

How long does it take you to finish taking a FMX? I’m a new grad and I feel like it takes forever lol

[@junias1292]

8-12 minutes max

[@TeethTalk]

totally! depends on the patient!!!

[@TeethTalk]

speed definitely comes with time!!! :) but there's always a difficult situation that can still put me behind (gaggers,, etc)

[@sdante123]

@@TeethTalk yeah gaggers and ppl with small mouths always slow me up but thanks for answering and the insight

[@glowingxlights9652]

girl same when I was in Dental Hygiene school and I was practicing on dexter it would take me 30 minutes. Eventually, it becomes easier.

[@Saddamrasool29]

Hello mam, its total 21 IOPA Needed, 9 anterior,8 posterior, 4 bitewing. Acc to DENTAL PULSE. Can u pls explain me ???????

Thank you very helpful Pls, the video is too fast and i am a slow learner

[@aor-sn6os]

If i live right above a dental practice who uses X ray ..am i safe? what s the safe distance from those digital CT scans??

[@TeethTalk]

safe distance is behind a wall and if there is no wall - then 6 feet. so you are fine with the floor/ceiling barrier :)

[@Charizard1996]

Can U plz tell me y bitewings are needed when PAs are taken anyways during full mouth x-rays.

[@TeethTalk]

can't evaluate the bone level as well in PAs! bitewings help so much with bone level exam and finding decay. hope this helps!

[@joewilks4004]

I have terrible gagging reflexes when having thr xray any tips to overcome this?

[@brebresftball11]

Going to be a RDH in may! Do you have any tips with taking the anterior PA’s and getting all of the premolars in the BW’s? It is always really tough to get them with the digital sensors!

[@TeethTalk]

congrats on soon-to-be-RDH! totally all PAs can be difficult with digital sensors but over time it gets easier! here is my tips&tricks video for taking x-rays hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn6QqIuJa9Sgqqc

Yeees 5th comment ❤️ I am early!!😀

[@peterpikvocht9840]

Can u do a intraoral photography on the patient next time?

[@TeethTalk]

yes! great video idea :) will add to my list thank you for the suggestion!

[@jenshaw8085]

I’m surprised the patient is holding the frame. It makes his fingers/hands exposed to radiation, doesn’t it?

[@junias1292]

Using the NOMAD Handheld X-ray System is the the best way to take radiographs!! Fast, easy and protects the operator from direct and scatter radiation.

Those used to be used on me all the time every 6 months but it’s to big for my small mouth it hurt so bad after I cried from the pain a year ago or 2 I now get a different one that is smaller and has no rings on it bisecting angle is what it’s called IT DOES NOT HURT ANYMORE EEEEEE PROBLEM SOLVED now I hate myself for not mentioning how much it hurt me years ago 😁😆🥳
