My friend works in a dental office, devloped growth on hr chin (lymphnodes are inflamed) and losing

she has worked in this dental office for six years, and A couple years ago she also had growths in the bridge of her nose. Doctors keep ruling out any health concerns as they are benign, Has this happened to any of u in the healthcare field or Do u have any ideas as to what this may be? Related to radiation maybe?

She would have to be sitting in the chair after hours and shooting exposure after exposure intentionally to cause this.



I am in New Jersey and we are required to have all new machines inspected by a licensed radiation physicist. I used to use those monitoring badges for x-ray exposure. One guy saw a badge sitting on the counter and said to stop wasting the money. He had been in the business for 10-15 years (I forget.) and he said tha the had NEVER heard of a dental office staff member who ever had any positive results on a quarterly monitor. Our x-ray machines are just not that powerful.



I would urge your friend to see a dermatologist for a second opinion.
