      I’m struggling with xrays right now, and I’m close to the end of my program. It’s 12 weeks. I start week 9 next week. I’m still having trouble putting the holders together too, and where the dot should be depending on the section I’m doing.

    When taking PA's, this is what i learned, you should not follow the ring, it won't get the apex, you're supposed to angle the PID a little higher for you to be able to get the apex. trust me, i did this is at work today i followed the ring and it didn't get the apex. Ring is only good for when taking bitewings, but when taking BW, you're supposed to angle the PID a little bit to the left or right depends on which side you are to open the contacts, or else you will get overlap.

    Thank you so much! I have an x-ray/radiation course on November 12th and then I have my 2nd x-ray/radiation course on November 19th and November 19th is when I'm supposed to receive my x-ray/radiation certificate. I'm so excited and anxious, I can't wait to take it so I been studying as much as I can and watching as many FMX UA-cam videos as I can because I am determined to pass with positivity. All of these Full Mouth Series (FMX) really helps so thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. God Bless You Always.

      @@FlowerTaneofamliy Hey 👋🏼 the radiation course turned out great i was so nervice lol but I passed so this video really helped 😃 I had to take FMX on 3 patients in my office and it was all digital which was so much better and easier. After I took the FMX's (I did them on my coworkers and my coworkers husband) then the second course I brought another patient and took an FMX on him. So all together (because I had to practice on some manikins as well) I had take FMX's on 6 patients and the FMX's had to be of good quality. It was a bit challenging and stressful but I finally got it done lol now I just need my sealants certification but unfortunately I have to wait till next year because all of the courses got filled up so fast 😩. Good Luck girl you got this! I wish you all the best and success! Also, Happy Holidays! 🙂🎄

    Why are you placing the film on the tongue? The film should not be on the tongue, the film should be beside the tongue. You are not getting the film "as close to the teeth" with it resting on the tongue and having them close.

    • @hygieneedge
      @hygieneedge  8 років тому +8

      Agreed that "as close as possible" is always best. If it is very painful to the patient then resting it on the tongue for comfort is a good option. If this is the case you may also have to increase the KVP. Best of luck Jill.
